The Kenya National Highways Authority has scheduled a temporary closure for part of the Uhuru Highway that leads toward Mombasa Road. This closure affects traffic moving between University Way and Kenyatta Avenue roundabouts on March 4, 2025, from 9:00 AM until 10:30 AM. Drivers should note this disruption happens because of a planned World Engineering Day procession. The authority encourages motorists to prepare for these changes by considering alternative routes during the morning travel period.
Drivers heading to Mombasa Road may exit the highway near Boulevard Hotel onto Harry Thuku Road, then continue through Moi Avenue and Kenyatta Avenue to reconnect with the highway at Kenyatta Avenue roundabout. Another option allows motorists to travel from the University Way roundabout onto Nyerere Road, followed by Processional Way and Kenyatta Avenue, before rejoining the main route. The highway authority asks all road users to follow guidance from traffic marshals and police officers stationed throughout the affected areas.
Additional road work requires the closure of the Juja-Gatundu Road from February 28 through March 3, 2025, ending at 8:00 PM. This enables workers to install a cross culvert along the route. Travelers can use the diversion near Equity Afia Medical Centre in Juja to connect back with Juja-Gatundu Road. People may also use Mucatha Road through the Jomo Kenyatta University Way roundabout to access Thika Superhighway as an alternative during these construction dates.
These announcements come shortly after previous notification about traffic changes at the Haile Selassie roundabout where construction teams are building a pedestrian underpass. Drivers should approach all these sections with caution and pay attention to temporary traffic management plans. The highways authority continues to communicate these necessary infrastructure improvements to minimize travel disruptions for Kenyan motorists and ensure proper safety measures remain in place during construction periods.
