The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced closing down a section of the Southern Bypass for maintenance beginning Thursday to Sunday.
The closure will affect a section between the Kikuyu-bound carriageway and the Gitaru Overpass virtual weighbridge.
Motorists will use the route every night from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m.
“Normal traffic will resume every night between 6:00 pm and 9:00 am. This allows highway maintenance works along the section,” KeNHA director general Kung’u Ndung’u said.
Drivers using the route have been advised to drive carefully while approaching the section.

Additionally, proper signs will be erected to direct motorists plying the Southern Bypass.
