The Kenya Urban Roads Authority
(KURA) has
begun construction of a new flyover exchange linking the Outer Ring Road and
Thika Super Highway in Kenya, in a bid to ease traffic congestion as a result
of high population density in the Eastern part of Nairobi city.
The cooperation has since announced a 3 month
closure of the overpass at GSU headquarters to ensure that the construction
works are not interrupted by motorists.
John Cheboi, Kura communications manager said: “There
has ever been traffic congestion at that junction and the roundabout is not
adequate to ease traffic, so the contractor went back to the drawing
table of the design of Outer Ring Road and Thika Super Highway, and the only
rational option was to construct an additional flyover,” said Cheboi.
The new exchange is expected to advance Outer Ring Road and it is seen as a game changer for the eastern part of Nairobi.https://constructionreviewonline.com/2019/04/construction-of-Outer Ring-thika-highway-exchange-in-kenya-begins/
