Nairobi Western Bypass set for 25 new feeder roads in mobility plan
The Kenya National Highways Authority is planning to construct 25 feeder roads to support the Nairobi Western Bypass. This project aims to improve mobility and reduce traffic congestion in Kiambu County and the greater Nairobi area.
Why it matters
Infrastructure development is essential for economic growth and urban efficiency in rapidly expanding metropolitan regions.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) will build 25 feeder roads for the 16.5-kilometre Nairobi Western Bypass, which runs through Kiambu County, as part of plans to improve mobility and access.
The roads include Roselyne-Kang’ururi-slaughter (1.6km); Slaughter-Gituamba-Gacharage (1.5km); Lily of Valley-Muya-Kagondo (1.5km); Lily of Valley-Muya-Christco (1.2km); Yamogo-Sacred Heart (3.5km); Gatwikira (1.5km); Kimachia/Mbari ya Njau (1.3km) and River Side-King’eero SDA (1.8km).
Others are Marugu (1.1km); ACK St Mark Tito (1.1km); Karura-Kanyungu (1km); Cura/Gatumumu (1.4km); Rungiri Primary-PCEA (1km); Ndongoro/Kahingaru (1.5km); Rukubi Kwa Mbau (1Km); Rubby/Gitaru (1km) and Ruthiboi/Kanyariri (1km).
“The works under this project will comprise the upgrading to bitumen standards of the feeder roads in Kiambu County,” KeNHA said.
Western Bypass is a four-lane dual carriageway that connects the Nairobi Southern Bypass in Gitaru to the Northern Bypass in Ruaka. It passes through Wangige, Kihara and Ndenderu, serving as the final ring road to decongest Nairobi.
