The government has re-opened Nairobi's Bunyala and Lusaka roundabouts in an effort to curb the traffic menace experienced in the last few days.
Speaking at a press conference in Nairobi, Governor Evans Kidero said the move was a short-term solution as the county awaits the opening of the Southern Bypass on Friday.
Dr Kidero said all trailers are expected to start using the bypass from next week to ease traffic on Mombasa Road.
Motorists using the road have been spending more hours on traffic jams during peak hours, a situation that has made a number of public service vehicles increase their fares by 50 per
cent. Kidero said the government had
allocated Sh25 million for the road's
completion.
