Five additional footbridges will be constructed on Nairobi Expressway to enhance pedestrian safety, the Kenya National Highways Authority has said. 

The authority said the footpaths will be constructed between Mlolongo and Airtel/Southern Bypass interchange and along Waiyaki Way.

It said the footbridges on Waiyaki Way will be between the Aga Khan School and the junction to Brookside Drive.

The authority said the construction of the pedestrian footpaths is part of the scope of phased repair works being undertaken on the old road beneath the Nairobi Expressway.

"These repair works will be completed before the end of this year, 2022."

In a statement on Saturday, the authority said the repair works is on the sections of the pre-existing Mombasa Road where damage was directly caused during the construction of the Nairobi Expressway.

"The project company and developer of the Nairobi Expressway, MOJA Expressway Company Limited through their Engineer, Procure and Construct (EPC) Contractor CALE Infrastructure Construction Company is progressively working to repair where damage was directly caused during the construction," the statement said. 

It added that KeNHA and the respective utility companies are also carrying out repair works to sections of the road that were damaged during relocation of water and sewer pipes, power lines  and ICT fibre cables.

"These relocation activities affected the side walks and pedestrian footpaths as well as road side drainage on the existing road," KeNHA said.

The authority said it has committed funds for the repair works and is in constant engagement with the state utility companies to ensure they effectively attend to their assigned repair works. - EMMANUEL WANJALA, The Star
