The Nairobi Expressway was constructed with the aim of alleviating heavy traffic congestion along Mombasa Road and reducing travel time from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Westlands from two hours to just 20 minutes.
With its 15 entrance points and 14 exit points, the Expressway provides convenience to motorists. Moja Expressway Company is responsible for its operation and aims to recover construction costs through toll fees.
