Motorists using the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway should brace themselves for disruption of traffic on Monday.
Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced on Sunday that it would be diverting traffic along that section of the road to allow for construction to take place.
“This is to facilitate the construction of works of the rehabilitation and capacity enhancement of James Gichuru road junction-Rironi highway currently being undertaken along the project road,” read an advert in the dailies.
The 1.2 kilometre length of diversion will start at Kamandura (Kwa Rahab) which is about 1.6 km from Chunga Mali Interchange Bridge.
Nakuru Bound traffic is expected to use the newly constructed Diversion (Old Naivasha road), Nairobi bound traffic will be re-routed through the existing slip road, while Mai Mahiu traffic will use the newly constructed diversion.
