The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has extended the closure of Eldoret Road in Nairobi until December 30, 2026. The road was originally scheduled to reopen on September 18, 2026.

The delay is attributed to the ongoing construction of a vehicular bridge across the Nairobi River. KURA cited “unforeseen logistical and site-related challenges” as the cause, specifically noting that the delivery of critical equipment and materials was delayed due to factors beyond the contractor’s control. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes such as Ngong Road, Mbagathi Road, or Lang’ata Road.
