Moja Expressway Company has announced a 24-hour closure of sections of the Nairobi Expressway.
The closure is expected to take place from 10:00 pm on Saturday, June 13, 2026, to 10:00 pm on Sunday, June 14, 2026, to facilitate infrastructure work along the highway.
In a public notice, the company advised motorists to plan their journeys and use designated diversion routes during the temporary closure to minimise disruptions.
The temporary closure has been necessitated by the installation of fabricated beams for the new Airtel footbridge across the Nairobi Expressway carriageway.
According to reports, the works mark a critical stage in the construction of the pedestrian bridge, which is expected to enhance safety for thousands of people who cross the corridor daily.
The footbridge is intended to provide a safer crossing point for commuters, workers and residents moving between the surrounding commercial and industrial areas.
Motorists travelling towards Nairobi’s Central Business District from the Mlolongo direction have therefore been advised to exit through Eastern Bypass Exit A and re-enter the Expressway via Southern Bypass Entrance A.
Additionally, motorists heading towards Mlolongo from the CBD have been directed to use Southern Bypass Exit B before rejoining the Expressway through Eastern Bypass Entrance B.
Moreover, road users have been encouraged to follow traffic management instructions and cooperate with officers who will be deployed to guide motorists along the diversion routes.
