Traffic disruptions will affect Nairobi motorists Thursday as African Nations Championship matches resume at Kasarani Stadium. DR Congo faces Zambia at 4pm before Harambee Stars plays Angola in the evening fixture. Traffic Commandant Joseph Chirchir warns drivers to avoid Thika Road unless traveling to Kasarani Stadium. The tournament officially began Sunday, August 3, 2025. Presidential attendance is anticipated for the matches.
Authorities will close Aerodrome Road completely from Madaraka Roundabout to Bunyala Roundabout. Langata Road faces partial closure between Madaraka and Lusaka roundabouts. Mombasa Road will restrict one lane from Lusaka to Bunyala roundabouts. Nyayo Stadium serves as an additional venue, necessitating these closures. Police have deployed traffic marshals to manage the expected congestion.
Alternative routes direct CBD-bound traffic from Mombasa Road through Likoni-Enterprise Road or Southern Bypass via Ole Sereni. Langata Road drivers should use Raila Odinga Road or Muhoho Road at Mbagathi Roundabout. Thika Road travelers can access Eastern Bypass, Kiambu Road, or Limuru Road as alternatives.
