Section Of Nairobi Expressway Closed After Protesters Vandalise The Highway

The continuing national protests have temporarily shuttered a portion of the Nairobi Expressway.

Moja Expressway announced on Wednesday that toll services had been suspended at the Mlolongo, Syokimau, and SGR stations.

All drivers on the road have been encouraged to exit from JKIA using the Westlands-Mlolongo route, and drivers going to the Westlands have been urged to join the road at the JKIA Toll Station.

There are currently efforts being made to quiet the area down.

In videos that Citizen Digital was able to collect, a group of boisterous protesters could be seen burning a pile of tires and damaging a fence and road rails that were put up at the road segment.
