Section of Waiyaki Way in Westlands to be closed for three months – KeNHA announces.

KeNHA said the traffic disruption is necessary to allow for extension works on the existing pedestrian footbridge at Dunhill Towers as well as the construction of the proposed Fogo Gaucho–QuickMart Westlands Footbridge.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority notifies the public that a section of Waiyaki Way (A8) Road from Karuna Close and Westlands Roundabout on the Nakuru-bound carriageway will be partially closed from Thursday, June 25, 2026, to Friday, September 25, 2026,” the notice stated.

The authority noted that traffic will be diverted through the existing service lane during the construction period, as indicated in the traffic management plan accompanying the notice.

Motorists using the busy highway have been advised to exercise caution while approaching the affected section and to adhere to all temporary traffic signs and traffic control measures that will be put in place.

The closure is expected to affect traffic movement along one of Nairobi’s busiest transport corridors, particularly during peak hours, and motorists have been encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly.
