Motorists plying the route were further urged to exercise caution and seek alternative routes as the Authority maintained on being committed to transform Urban Mobility.
Those set to be affected by the closure include motorists heading to various institutions and offices located in Hurlingham Estate such as the Department of Defense (DOD) offices.
Also, motorists relying on the Argwings Kodhek road that leads to the Yaya Center and those linking up to Ngong Road and Mbagathi way from the Integrity Center direction will be affected.
Consequently, motorists can opt to use the Ngong road section along Community and the Milimani Law courts that begins at the All-Saints Cathedral Church leading to towards the Kenya National Library (KNL).
Motorists can also opt to use alternative routes such as Milimani and State House roads.
