The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced the temporary closure of key sections of Mombasa Road in Nairobi on Sunday, December 1, 2024, to allow for the World AIDS Day half marathon.
The closure will affect the stretch between Nyayo National Stadium Roundabout and the Museum Hill Interchange from 6 am to 10:30 am, during which time motorists are advised to use alternative routes.

KeNHA Director General Kung'u Ndung'u announced on Saturday that the road closure is part of preparations for a 21-kilometer marathon to mark this year's World AIDS Day.
The event is expected to cause significant traffic disruption in the area, and drivers are urged to cooperate with police officers and traffic marshals stationed along the route.
"KeNHA advises motorists to follow the proposed traffic management plan and cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on site," the statement read in part.

This temporary closure adds to a series of recent traffic disruptions within Nairobi city. Just a week ago, KeNHA announced the closure of Uhuru Highway's Haile Selassie Roundabout for 51 days, starting November 28, 2024.
The closure is part of ongoing works to construct a pedestrian underpass. The project, which is set to run until January 17, 2025, will affect traffic flow along a busy stretch of the capital's main highway.
Similarly, KeNHA had earlier warned of traffic disruptions along the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway between Makupa Bridge and Changamwe Interchange.
The disruptions, which are set to continue until December 1, 2024, are necessary for road construction and drainage works aimed at improving connectivity in the region.
"Motorists are advised to drive with caution while approaching these sections of the road and to follow all traffic management guidelines," KeNHA added.
