The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has extended the partial closure of Eldoret Road in Nairobi until December 30, 2026, due to ongoing construction challenges. The initial closure period, which began on May 18, 2026, was set to end on September 18, 2026. However, KURA announced the extension until December 30, 2026. This extension was prompted by unforeseen issues such as delayed deliveries of crucial construction materials and equipment, which were beyond the contractor's control.
KURA is collaborating with the contractor to ensure the project's completion within the new timeline while adhering to safety and quality requirements. Authorities urge motorists to utilize alternative routes and adhere to the guidance of traffic police and marshals. KURA expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and reaffirmed their commitment to transforming urban mobility.
