09th September, 2026 02:15 PM
Moja Expressway has clarified that the Nairobi Westlands Exit remains fully open and operational despite ongoing maintenance works along the Nairobi Expressway.
The clarification comes a day after the company announced traffic adjustments at the Westlands section to facilitate scheduled maintenance and construction works.
In a statement shared on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, Moja Expressway said the maintenance is being undertaken past the Westlands Exit, meaning motorists using the toll station will not be affected.
“Please be informed that the Nairobi Westlands Exit remains fully open and operational. The scheduled maintenance is taking place past the exit, so traffic exiting at the toll station will not be affected,” the company said.
The clarification is expected to ease concerns among motorists following the earlier announcement on the maintenance works.
Maintenance works
Moja Expressway had earlier announced that maintenance and construction works would be carried out along the elevated overpass deck after the Nairobi Westlands Exit.
The works started at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and are scheduled to run until 5:00 pm on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
“Traffic Advisory: Scheduled maintenance past the Nairobi Westlands Exit will run from Sept 8 to Sept 20,” the company announced.
In its earlier notice, the company had advised motorists exiting at the Nairobi Westlands section to join the lower A8 road on Waiyaki Way during the maintenance period. It also said toll station operations would remain unaffected.
“During this period, motorists exiting at the Nairobi Westlands are strictly instructed to join the lower A8 road on Waiyaki Way. Toll station operations remain fully unaffected,” the company explained in the notice.
“Drivers are urged to exercise caution and follow the instructions of traffic marshals stationed along the route.”
The latest update, however, clarifies that motorists exiting at the Westlands toll station will not be affected by the maintenance works.
Moja Expressway has urged motorists to take note of the updated information as the maintenance continues.
The Nairobi Expressway connects Mlolongo to Westlands and serves thousands of motorists travelling across Nairobi, with the Westlands section providing an important link to Waiyaki Way and surrounding areas.
