Haile Selassie Exit Plaza
The maintenance announcement comes shortly after the commencement of the trial operation for the Nairobi Expressway Haile Selassie Exit Plaza, which began last week.
Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen inaugurated the trial operation noting the impact it would have on the region’s traffic flow.
“We are pleased to announce that the trial operation of the newly completed Nairobi Expressway Haile Selassie Exit Plaza will commence on Saturday, January 20, 2024,” Moja Expressway said.
Murkomen said the Haile Selassie Exit Plaza is designed to ease traffic congestion for motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and other entry points along Mombasa Road.
The exit features five lanes and directs traffic in two directions: one leading to Processional Way into Haile Selassie Avenue and the other towards Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.
“The new Exit, which has five lanes, will now grant motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, JKIA, and other entry points along Mombasa Road, easy access to the Nairobi CBD, Ngong Road, and Upper Hill and reduce traffic congestion from Capital Centre to Haile Selassie roundabout,” Murkomen explained.
