Motorists plying along Lang’ata Road in Nairobi have been notified to expect traffic disruptions this weekend.
A section of the busy city highway will be closed this Sunday, October 9, 2022, to allow for the construction of the Lang’ata Barracks Footbridge.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) said it will close the section between the U-turn to Langata Hospital and Langata Barracks Roundabout.
