The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced that the Gitaru Interchange, located along the busy Waiyaki Way and Southern Bypass to Western Bypass, will experience a temporary traffic disruption starting Tuesday next week.

"The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) would like to inform the public of a temporary traffic disruption at Gitaru Interchange on A8 (Waiyaki Way) and Southern Bypass to Western Bypass," KeNHA stated.

The disruption is expected to last for a month, ending on Thursday, December 19, 2024, as road works are carried out on the Right-Hand Side (RHS) Carriageway connecting the Southern Bypass to the Western Bypass.

The traffic interruption is part of KeNHA's scheduled improvements at the interchange, which aim to enhance road infrastructure and ensure a smoother commute upon completion.
