KeNHA announces month-long traffic disruption at Kihunguro on Thika Superhighway

Nairobi motorists should prepare for extended traffic disruptions on the Thika Superhighway near Kihunguro, as the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a closure of the Thika-bound service lanes. Effective from November 15, 2026, until December 20, 2026, the closure is aimed at facilitating bridge construction works by allowing for the pre-assembly and hoisting of the bridge superstructure.

KeNHA urges drivers to exercise caution around the construction site and follow temporary traffic management arrangements, including the proposed diversion routes. Motorists are requested to cooperate with police and traffic marshals at the site to ensure seamless vehicle movement during the construction period. Two diversion options are provided: one route goes through the Shell Petrol Station and rejoins the highway, while the other bypasses the station and reconnects with the highway.
