A section of Nairobi’s Langata Road will be closed on Sunday, November 14, 2021, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced.
In a notice on Wednesday, KeNHA Director General Eng. Kung’u Ndung’u said the section of the road at the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout will be closed from 5:00 am to 12.00 noon to pave way for the erection of the Nyayo footbridge.
During the seven-hour road works, Langata – Nairobi-bound traffic will be diverted just after Madaraka Roundabout to Aerodrome Road into Bunyala Roundabout.
Motorists plying the route have been urged to comply with traffic marshalls to ensure that the closure only causes minimal interruptions.
