Motorists have been advised to avoid the junction of Ring Road Parklands this week due to ongoing construction work that is scheduled to take place from today to the November 17.

In a notice posted on the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) official twitter handle, motorists have been urged to use alternative routes until the road construction project is complete.

"The junction of Ring Road Parklands at 4th Parklands Avenue will be closed as from November 11, 2019 till November 17 due to the ongoing works on that section. Kindly use other alternative routes as we strive to provide efficient urban roads," read the statement by KURA.

The closure is aimed at improving the link between Waiyaki way and Limuru through Westlands.

Motorists heading to Nairobi and Mombasa will use the provided diversions as directed by the signs and traffic marshals,” the authority tweeted.
