President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday made an extensive inspection tour of the 27.1-kilometer Nairobi Expressway during which he expressed satisfaction with the progress of the key road.
When complete in March next year, the 8-lane elevated dual carriageway expected to significantly decongest Mombasa Road and reduce travel time between Mlolongo and Westlands to 20 minutes.
During the inspection visit, President Kenyatta, who was accompanied by Infrastructure CS James Macharia and Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) Director General Mohamed Badi, laid the final box girder bridge, a year after the first was laid on 26th December 2020.
"It is a proud moment for us as Kenyans as we are here today witnessing the laying of the last of these girders that are linking this new superhighway, the Nairobi Express Way,” the President said.
The Head of State commended the contractor for a job well done and expressed confidence that the road will be ready for use by March next year.
