The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has reopened the Airport South Road which has been closed for six years.
Peter Mundinia, the agency’s Director-General, revealed that the road which had been closed since February 2014, would be accessed by Bus Rapid Transport (BRT)only.
The re-opening is intended to promote the Nairobi Commuter Rail-JKIA Express Service, which is expected to ease traveling between the airport and the Nairobi CBD.
Commuters will use the train service from the Central Station (popularly known as the Railway Station) to the Embakasi Railway Station from where they can take a bus to the airport.
They will then be ferried through the Airport South Road which will be dedicated to the Nairobi Commuter Rail Bus also referred to as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles.
The connecting plans are to give air travelers an alternative mode of transport to and from the airport and save commuters the inconvenience of being caught up in the Mombasa Road traffic jam .
