Here Are Fines You Will Pay For Causing Minor Accidents on Nairobi Expressway

Kenya’s Sh88 billion project, the Nairobi Expressway, is nearing completion and motorists are looking forward to using it.

It will fully be operational from Saturday, May 14, 2022 and will be commissioned by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Recently, the government revised the toll rates upwards by 16%. This, the Ministry of Transport said was to reflect foreign exchange adjustments for dollar-denominated charges.

To access the road, motorists are required to physically register at the Nairobi Expressway Service Center on Mombasa Road at Cabanas.

Saloon cars using the expressway from Mlolongo to the James Gichuru exit in Westlands will now pay Sh360, up from Sh310.
