This effectively means anyone using that route during the night hours will need to plan ahead or find an alternative way into town.

The reason behind this temporary shutdown is the installation of fabricated footbridge beams for the ongoing Airtel Footbridge project.

" This is to allow for installation of the fabricated footbridge beams of the Airtel Footbridge across the Nairobi Bound Carriageway," stated KeNHA.
