Motorists using Nairobi’s Outer Ring Road have been advised to expect temporary traffic disruptions on Saturday, August 8, after Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) announced a planned partial road closure.
KURA said the affected stretch sits near the Airport North Road interchange, where contractors will carry out the removal work for about four hours.
Additional areas expected to feel the impact include Umoja 2, Umoja Inner Core, Tena, Donholm, Pipeline and Embakasi, all of which depend on the Outer Ring Road as a major transport route.
The authority said it will manage traffic in phases to reduce disruption, with a full closure occurring only during the actual gantry removal.
Between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm, the contractor will demobilise equipment, after which KURA will reopen the road, with motorists required to drive at reduced speeds.
