Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has announced the completion of the Ngong Road-Naivasha Road flyover.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

The 800-metre elevated dual carriageway, implemented by KURA, is designed to ease traffic congestion along the busy Ngong Road corridor by separating through-traffic from vehicles accessing Naivasha and King'ara roads.

This announcement comes as the government accelerates investments in transport infrastructure aimed at improving mobility within the capital.

Additionally, it is supposed to support Nairobi's preparations for major international events, including AFCON 2027.

According to the PS, once the flyover is operational, it is expected to improve access to the Talanta Stadium.

Additionally, the flyover will reduce travel times between Ngong and Nairobi CBD, areas that traffic bottlenecks have long plagued during peak hours.

“Once fully operational, the flyover is expected to significantly ease congestion along one of Nairobi's busiest transport corridors, drastically reduce travel times between Ngong and the Central Business District and improve connectivity to key urban facilities, including the nearby Talanta Stadium ahead of AFCON 2027,” PS Omollo said.

According to Omollo, the flyover will be operationalised soon, barely four weeks before the completion of Talanta Stadium.

The construction of the project commenced in September 2024 and has been implemented by KURA.

The project has been fully funded by a loan of Ksh3.58 billion from the Spanish Corporate International Fund (FIEM)
