The planned 60-kilometre Nairobi-Thika Expressway is expected to ease persistent traffic jams for motorists heading towards Nairobi. The State has set a date for the project’s groundbreaking.
Nairobi-Thika Expressway targets congestion
The road aims to address congestion affecting motorists travelling from Thika town towards Nairobi’s central business district. Traffic jams affect this journey especially during peak hours.
Expected relief after completion
However, the anticipated traffic relief depends on completion of the expressway, rather than the groundbreaking itself. The project’s stated goal is to ease congestion along this route.
