The Kenya National Highways Authority has announced a temporary closure of a section of Uhuru Highway.
The Authority said there will be a temporary closure between Hotel Boulevard and the University of Nairobi roundabout (Mombasa Bound).
The road will be closed from March 28, 2024, 11.59 pm to April 6, 2024, 11.59 pm.
KeNHA said the road will be closed to allow for the construction of a pedestrian tunnel connecting the University of Nairobi Main Campus and the Chiromo Campus.
