The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a temporary traffic disruption along Thika Superhighway, warning motorists of changes to traffic flow for more than a month.
In a public notice dated Sunday, November 8, KeNHA said the disruption would affect Thika-bound service lanes at Kihunguro from November 15 to December 20, 2026.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) informs the public of a temporary traffic disruption due to the closure of the Thika-bound service lanes at Kihunguro along the Thika Superhighway from Sunday, November 15, 2026, to Sunday, December 20, 2026,” the statement read.
The closure will allow for the pre-assembly of a bridge superstructure and its subsequent hoisting.
Nairobi-Thika motorists will be diverted through Shell Petrol Station before rejoining the highway. An alternative route will also be available behind the petrol station.
KeNHA has urged motorists to exercise caution near the construction area, follow the traffic management plan and cooperate with police officers and traffic marshals.
