The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has cautioned traders along the Thika Road that it might continue demolitions of traders whose establishments encroach on road reserves.
In a notice issued on Friday, February 20, 2026, KeNHA revealed that it will now proceed to the Roysambu Rundabout, where a similar exercise will be carried out to pave the way for a modern bus park.
According to the authority, the exercise is being conducted in accordance with the law.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has initiated clearance of all unlawful structures along the Thika Superhighway. The Authority started at Githurai, where clearance is meant to pave the way for the construction of a modern bus park,’’ KeNHA stated.
“The structures had encroached onto the road reserve, posing significant safety risks to thousands of motorists and pedestrians within the busy market area. Over time, this section has recorded numerous road safety incidents, a trend the Authority is firmly committed to reversing”, it added.
According to KeNHA, the move will provide a designated space for buses and matatus to safely pick up and drop off passengers, thereby enhancing order, efficiency, and traffic flow along the corridor.
The authority further stated that the improved access from Githurai Roundabout to the highway will strengthen connectivity, offering greater convenience to road users and substantially easing congestion along this high-traffic section.
