With the highly anticipated completion of the Nairobi expressway in sight, the Kenya National Highway Authorities (KeNHA) has made plans of\u00a0re-opening of closed roads to ease traffic<\/a>\u00a0on affected roads.<\/h6>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h6>\r\n
A public notice by KeNHA on September 20 says the opening of the roads will be done in phases, starting September 30.<\/h6>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h6>\r\n

Aside from re-opening closed sections, KeNHA says that it will also re-open closed lanes, improve two unidirectional U-turns and widen diversion points.<\/h6>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h6>\r\n
The Nairobi Expressway is a four-lane dual carriageway designed to run along the central reserve of the A8 road starting from Mlolongo, all the way to the James Gichuru junction.<\/h6>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h6>\r\n
The project is expected to considerably ease traffic flow on the Mlolongo-James Gichuru A8 section and is expected to eventually reduce the travel time through Nairobi.<\/h6>\r\n
