A section of Mbagathi way will be closed this festive season to allow for construction work. According to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). The closure will allow the contractor on site to demolish the current footbridge and replace it with a modern one.
A road linking Mbagathi road and upper hill has been on the work since the beginning of this year. The road that is nearing it’s completion will ensure traffic congestion is reduced along Ngong Road for commuters accessing South B, Langata and other areas.
In a notice to the public, KURA said the road will be closed from Friday, December 27, 2019, to Monday, December 30, 2019. The stipulated time of closure will be between 6AM to 6PM in the evening.
As a motorist, it’s only wise that you seek alternative routes.
KURA suggested that, “Traffic coming from Lang’ata Road through Mbagathi Way to divert at Mbagathi Road, join Mtongwe Road and [then] proceed up to Mbaruk Road before joining Muchai Drive, which joins Ngong Road at Coptic Hospital,”
They also added that, “Traffic coming from Ngong Town — via Ngong Road — to proceed up to City Mortuary Roundabout, exit at the roundabout to join Ngong Road, again drive on up to Muchai Drive diversion. Proceed through to join Mbaruk Road, then Mtongwe Road up to Mbagathi Road, which links with Mbagathi Way. Motorists using Valley Road and those from Kenyatta National Hospital to use the same navigation.”
