The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has issued a public notice announcing a series of partial road closures across key Nairobi corridors to facilitate ongoing infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving urban mobility and drainage systems.
Ngong Road Partial Closure
The first intervention affects Ngong Road, where a section between Windy Ridge and Westwood Park Road will undergo partial closure from Thursday, 11 June 2026 to Thursday, 18 June 2026.
The works will allow contractors to install twin cross culverts as part of drainage improvement works along the busy corridor.
Haile Selassie Avenue will also experience a longer-term closure running from Friday, 12 June 2026 to Monday, 12 October 2026. The four-month works will support bridge construction activities designed to enhance safety and reduce future traffic disruptions along the route.
Kenyatta Avenue / Valley Road / Jakaya Kikwete Road Closure
A third and most extensive closure affects the Kenyatta Avenue, Valley Road, and Jakaya Kikwete Road corridor, which will remain partially closed from Friday, 12 June 2026 to Friday, 12 February 2027.
The eight-month project will facilitate major bridge construction works aimed at improving connectivity and easing congestion in the central business district.
KURA has urged motorists to use designated diversion routes as indicated in traffic management plans, and to follow directions from traffic police officers deployed along the affected sections.
The authority has also apologized for the inconvenience, noting that the works are part of its broader mandate to transform urban mobility through safer and more efficient road infrastructure.
