As earmarked in a raft of measures by Nairobi County Government aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the city, the county has started removing roundabouts along Langata Road and Waiyaki Way in a bid to ease traffic congestion.
Roundabouts on Langata Road and Westlands are scheduled to be
removed on Saturday from 7pm throughout the night.
Nairobi traffic boss Edward Mwamburi has urged motorists to be
patient and expect traffic delays on these roads. “I urge motorists using Langata road and Westlands to use alternative routes,” he said.
Consequently, motorists plying these roads will have to use different
routes to enter and leave the Central Business District to allow the
removal of the roundabouts.
"We are looking at all the arterial roads that feed the CBD. What we
have started with is the A104 which constitutes Uhuru Highway,
Waiyaki Way stretch and Mombasa Road because it serves both local
and international traffic," said County Executive Member for Roads and
Transport Mohammed Abdullahi.
