A heavy traffic is expected this weekend along Thika Superhighway at Allsopps which will be under closure to facilitate the installation of overpass concrete beams on the ongoing construction of Outer Ring Road overpass.
Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) issued a statement on Wednesday stating that the City-bound expressway at Outer ring Road will be closed on Saturday, September 14, and Sunday, September 15.
All motorists will be required to use the service lane to access Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
“Thika Superhighway at Allsopps (Outer Ring Road Junction) will be closed on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September, 2019 in order to install beams on the ongoing construction of the Outer Ring overpass,” reads the statement issued by KURA Acting Director General Silas. M Kinoti.
Similar incident will still be expected next weekend as the remaining section of the outbound expressway will be closed on Saturday 21, and Sunday 22 from 6 am to 6 pm.
