Transport along Thika Superhighway will be disrupted following the partial closure at Globe Roundabout to allow the reinstatement of the Nairobi River bridge.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a week-long public notice that will affect thousands of commuters. Almost all PSVs plying Thika Road use the roundabout to access the Nairobi CBD.
KeNHA said the partial closure, scheduled from March 12 to 19, 2026, will impact multiple entry points, requiring motorists to use alternative routes.
Motorists heading to the Nairobi CBD from Thika are advised to use the Globe Overpass, while traffic from Thika accessing University Way will be redirected to Prof. Wangari Maathai Road.
Those from Thika to Kirinyaga Road and OTC will use Ring Road, while from Kipande Road heading to the CBD are advised to use Limuru Road (Fig Tree) before joining Prof. Wangari Maathai Road.
U-turns from the CBD and University Way will be made at the Guru Nanak U-Turn.
Motorists are urged to exercise caution around the work areas, follow the proposed traffic management plan, and cooperate with police officers and traffic marshals on site.
“Temporary traffic control measures, lane management, or diversions may be introduced as technical investigations and stabilization works progress”, KeNHA appealed.
