[ad_1]

The Nairobi Expressway is not yet opened to the public, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced.

The announcement comes after reports emerged on social media that the highly anticipated road had been temporarily opened for use, free of charge, until 31st March.

“Contrary to speculative information circulating in some social media platforms, this is to notify the public that the Nairobi Expressway is not yet open to traffic,” KeNHA said in a statement issued on Tuesday, 22nd March.

The authority has urged Kenyans to remain calm as the Expressway is nearing completion, adding that once its completed the public shall be informed in good time.

KeNHA also noted that there will be guided trials to test the operations of the system that has been installed, in preparation for the eventual opening of the Road to the public.

“Being a key road that is expected to decongest the City, the Authority shall inform the public in advance but at an appropriate time on arrangements to open the road to the public,” the authority stated.

The 27-kilometre expressway running from Mlolongo to the James Gichuru junction at Westlands is set to be completed by June 2022.

Once completed, the expressway will see motorists take only 20 minutes to drive across the city from Mlolongo to Rironi near Limuru, through Westlands.

Initial reports indicate that motorists will pay a fee of between Ksh100 and Ksh1,550, depending on the size of the vehicle and the distance travelled.
