According to Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, 12.49 million vehicles have used the expressway as demand among motorists rises.
Speaking while appearing before the National Assembly, he said preference for the road has increased as drivers connecting James-Gichuru and Mombasa Roads seek to beat the frequent traffic snarl-ups associated with the old road.
“The total number of vehicles recorded which have used the Expressway from inception until the end of March 2023 was 12,491,403,” CS Murkomen said.
On his part, Moja Expressway Company CEO Steve Zhao said that it had collected Kes2 billion in toll fees from the route since its launch in July 2022.
Motorists have three payment options: the manual toll collection (MTC) card, the electronic toll collection (ETC) service, and cash payment.
Then Zhao said that the firm had successfully piloted the use of M-Pesa and that it would be rolled out soon.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the Kes87 billion road.
The road has 11 tolling stations, 54 toll plazas, and 54 cameras along the 27-kilometre expressway, with 126 cameras inside the toll plazas.
The dual carriageway comprises 11 interchanges at Mlolongo, Standard Gauge Railway, JKIA, Eastern Bypass, Southern Bypass, Capital Centre, Haile Selassie Avenue, Museum Hill, Westlands, and James Gichuru Road.
