Three major Nairobi roads will be closed today ahead of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 tournament, which will be held at Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums.
This is aimed at facilitating the smooth movement of teams, officials, and fans, and to enhance security around the match venue.
The roads include Aerodrome Road from Madaraka roundabout to Bunyala roundabout, one side of Lang’ata Road from Madaraka roundabout to Lusaka roundabout and one side of Mombasa Road from Lusaka roundabout to Bunyala roundabout.
The traffic disruptions are expected, affecting travel times to and from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport.
As such, the Kenya Airports Authority has issued an advisory to passengers travelling to and from the aforementioned airports, recommending alternative routes they can use.
From Mombasa Road to CBD, passengers have been asked to use Likoni-Enterprise Road or the Southern Bypass
From Lang’ata Road to CBD, the passengers have been advised to use Raila Odinga Road or Muhoho Road.
Passengers travelling from CBD to Thika Road, Ruiru, Juja and Thika have been advised to use Limuru Road or Kiambu Road
From Thika Road, the passengers can use either Eastern Bypass, Kiambu Road, or Limuru Road.
"Passengers are strongly urged to check flight schedules and allow for prolonged travel times to ensure timely arrival at JKIA or Wilson Airport," said KAA.
