What you need to know:

  • Drivers heading to and from the island should expect delays, with diversions clearly marked to guide traffic flow.
  • The rehabilitation is part of broader infrastructure upgrades aimed at easing traffic congestion in the coastal city.


Motorists using the busy Mombasa-Nairobi highway have been advised to brace for traffic disruption following the temporary closure of a key section of the road between Makupa Bridge and Changamwe Interchange.

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced that the closure will run from Saturday, August 23, to Sunday, September 7, to allow for road construction and drainage works along the busy stretch connecting the island to the mainland.
