Motorists will not be able to use the Nairobi Expressway from 9pm tonight. Moja Expressway, the company that runs the highway has announced the closure of the highway.
According to Moja, the closure comes after the end of the three month trial period.

“The road will now be officially closed from 9 pm this Saturday, July 30, 2022, until it is officially commissioned. The Moja Expressway company regrets any inconvenience caused and motorists will be advised upon resumption of service on the expressway.”
Over the time the 27-kilometre highway has been operating, it has recorded a couple of accidents and long traffic jams. It has also seen public service vehicles banned from using it.
According to Moja, the long traffic jams that were witnessed in the early days were the result of cunning Kenyans who got on the Expressway only to refuse to pay claiming they were broke.
