Ksh1Billion Langata Road Flyover Project Underway
Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), has alerted motorists and pedestrians plying sections of Lang'ata and Mbagathi roads to expect traffic disruptions for an unspecified period of time.
The notice dated Wednesday, November 18, highlighted that the section of Lang'ata Road adjacent to T Mall roundabout area would be partially fenced to allow for the construction of the flyover and footbridge and a footbridge connecting to Mbagathi Way.
Issues of traffic snarl-up along both sections of the roads had been raised by various motorists on social media which caught the attention of the authority.
KeNHA noted that the project, which is meant to ease traffic congestion within the road, would be upgraded by means of a four-lane flyover as well as the expansion of adjacent roads.
"We request motorists to exercise caution around the area and to comply with the Traffic Management Plan signalization and instructions given by the traffic marshals," read part of the statement.
The redesigning of the Lang'ata Road-Mbagathi Way connection is expected to reduce accidents on the busy road.

Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is set to commence the construction of a fly-over at T-Mall junction on Langata road.
In a statement, the authority said the project will consist of the upgrading of Langata-Mbagathi-Mai Mahiu crossing by means of a four lane flyover on Langata Road, and the expansion of the adjacent roads.
The project will also comprise of the construction of a footbridge on the Mbagathi Way side.
“Pursuant to Tarffic Act Cap. 403 sec. 71, KeNHA wishes to notify the general public that the Langata Road and Mbagathi Way, contiguous to TMall Roundabout area shall be narrowed by means of fences, to allow construction works on the existing road medians and shoulders,” the statement read in part.
The flyover will allow vehicles headed to Ongata Rongai and Magadi to pass over an elevated road to the Shell Petrol Station next to the Wilson Airport.
Vehicles headed to Mbagathi Road, South C, Wilson Airport will use the underpass in a move that will terminate traffic jams at the busy Langata Road.
The Project is conceptualized under the Public-Private Partnership between the Government of Kenya and the Government of the Kingdom of Spain.
‘We request motorists to exercise caution around the area and to comply with the Traffic Management Plan signalization and instructions given by the traffic marshals,” it added.

would like to see how this will work, considering there are only two lanes on each side from Madaraka to Wilson and two lanes on Mbagathi road, and one lane on Mai-mahiu. how will they split the vehicles to use the flyover and those that will use the roundabout?
and where is the space to expand since from Madarak to T-mall and on Mai-mahiu road buildings are built next to the road?
am sure they have good Engineers who foresaw all am asking. (hence the price tag- which to me is a waste of resources since we have more pressing issues that a billion could do and we also need better roads and bridges in Mashinani and not in Nairobi)
