The authority has advised motorists to use the two through lanes and approach the affected sections with caution. They have also been urged to follow the traffic signs and guidance as directed by the traffic police and marshals.
"The Authority remains committed to ensuring seamless connectivity to facilitate safe passage for economic prosperity," KeNHA stated.
Last year in September, the road agency said they were on course to expand the construction of the Imaara Outfall drain.
The canal stretches for 3.5 kilometres long to the Ngong River and upon completion will divert flood waters that have haunted the estate for decades.
The outfall runs from A8 through, Imaara Mall, Imara estate, Embakasi Girls, Mukuru Kwa Njenga, Kware and terminates at Ngong River (Outering Road).
