KURA Explains Months-Long Delay in Roadworks at Busy Nairobi Junction

The unfinished works have raised concerns over pedestrian safety, drainage and the condition of the busy junction.

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has explained why the Parklands Road- Wangari Maathai Road Junction in Westlands have stalled months after its commencement.

Responding to queries from members of the public, KURA attributed the delays in construction to service relocation by other agencies, including the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).

However, the authority announced that the issue has now been resolved and the contractor is speeding up the work in the area.

According to KURA, the project is intended to improve the junction through non-motorised transport (NMT), drainage and intelligent transport systems (ITS) meant to benefit motorists and passengers.

"Please note, KURA is improving this junction with NMT, drainage & ITS works for pedestrians & motorists. Works stalled over service relocation by other agencies; now resolved & the contractor is expediting," KURA said.
