Kidero: Only right turn on Westlands, Lusaka roundabouts to be removed Saturday night

Motorists stuck in traffic jam along Lusaka Road in Nairobi.

Kenya: Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has clarified that only right turn on Westlands and Lusaka roundabouts will be removed Saturday night.

This followed reports that the county government had embarked on overnight exercise to remove roundabouts at Westlands and Langata Road.

“We had planned to implement the revised movements this weekend but are delayed by the ongoing civil works at the South C bridge to facilitate movement towards Langata road,” said Kidero in a statement on his Facebook page.

“We will roll out Westlands revised movements early in the week once the signages have been erected,” added Kidero.  

Kidero said that the new plan for the junctions, that will take the place of roundabouts, is still being worked on and changes will be effected in due course.

“We are still doing the design of the junctions that will replace the Roundabouts,” said Kidero
