Kenha on Saturday urged motorists to comply with traffic management plans and follow the direction of traffic marshals as well as road signs.
Motorists leaving using Uhuru Highway now have to use Bunyala road-Workshop road- Lusaka then join Mombasa road at the Nyayo road about.
“There will be traffic disruption along Uhuru Highway starting Friday, April 9,2021 to Thursday, April 29, 2021 (20 days). Motorists are kindly advised to use alternative routes. We apologise for the inconveniences that may be caused as we endeavour to provide an efficient, safe and reliable road network,” Kenha Director General Peter Mundinia said in a notice.
Already there have been huge traffic snarl ups along Mombasa road caused by the construction with motorists using either the Industrial Area, Jogoo road or South B route as an alternative of getting to town.
The 27-kilometre Express way from Mlolongo to the James Gichuru Junction in Westlands will cost about Sh65 billion.
In February the Ministry of Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said that the JKIA-Westlands Express way will be completed by the end of 2021.
