“Flyover” Plan for Nairobi’s Notorious T-Mall Intersection

Traffic at TMall junction in Nairobi

The traffic congestion normally witnessed at the Langata-Mbagathi Way roundabout in Nairobi may ease following a decision by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to construct a flyover on Langata Road. In a public announcement by Director General Eng. Peter Mundinia, KeNHA said the project would consist of the upgrading of the Langata-Mbagathi-Mai Mahiu crossing by means of a four-lane flyover on Langata Road as well as the expansion of adjacent roads. A footbridge will also be constructed on Mbagathi Way.

“Pursuant to Traffic Act Cap. 403 Sec. 71, KeNHA wishes to notify the general public that sections of Langata Road and Mbagathi Way contiguous to the T-Mall roundabout area shall be narrowed by means of fences to allow construction works on the existing road medians and shoulders”, the Authority said.

“We request motorists to exercise caution around the area and to comply with the Traffic Management Plan signalization and instructions given by the service marshals”, it added.
