KeNHA said the disruption will affect traffic from Nairobi to Thika Town and provided an alternative route.

On Monday, November 9, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced traffic disruptions at Kihunguro along the Thika Superhighway.

KeNHA explained that the Thika-bound service lanes at the section will be closed from November 15 to December 20 to allow for the assembly and hoisting of a bridge.

"The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) informs the public of a temporary traffic disruption due to the closure of the Thika-bound service lanes at Kihunguro along the Thika Superhighway from Sunday, November 15, 2026, to Sunday, December 20, 2026.

"The closure is to allow for pre-assembly of the bridge superstructure and subsequent hoisting," the notice read.
