CONSTRUCTION OF OUTER RING-THIKA HIGHWAY EXCHANGE IN KENYA BEGINS

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/
