The Kenya National Highways Authority has cautioned Motorists against the Use of The Nairobi Express Way until it’s completed.
The Authority was responding to social media videos showing some motorists using the expressway due to a traffic snarl on Mombasa Road.
“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.” The Authority said.
KeNHA said that there will be guided trials by motorists once the road has been completed by the contractor
“As the contractor nears completion, and in preparation for the eventual opening of the Road to the public, there will be guided trials to test the operations of the system that has been installed. “
“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 Notice cautioned Motorists that anyone found driving within or accessing the Nairobi Expressway route before the official launch will be TRESPASSING and will therefore be reported to the authorities.
