Kindiki: Thika-Nairobi Expressway reaches final design stage
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki says the proposed Thika-Nairobi Expressway has entered the final design and feasibility stage.
Nairobi, Kenya - Deputy President Kithure Kindiki announced on October 7 that the Thika-Nairobi Expressway has reached the final design and feasibility stage. The elevated road aims to provide motorists with an alternative to the congested Thika Superhighway, easing congestion on the Nairobi-Thika corridor. The Government has allocated Sh152 billion for the construction and upgrading of 1,656 kilometers of roads across Kiambu County, with 368 kilometers already completed at a cost of Sh20 billion.
The Deputy President visited Kiambu and Gatundu South constituencies, inspecting various road projects designed to boost local economies, particularly in rural areas. The Thika-Nairobi Expressway will offer motorists the option to use the elevated route without disrupting the existing expressway. The project, planned under a public-private partnership framework, is expected to improve road connectivity, enabling farmers to transport their produce to markets more quickly and reducing losses from delays and spoilage.
