KURA on Eastern By-Pass
The Easter Bypass connects Mombasa Road and parts of Central Kenya. It was meant to divert vehicles coming from Mombasa going to parts of Central Kenya away from the Nairobi CBD thereby decongesting the city. It is managed by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA).
Dualling of the Eastern by-pass was commissioned by immediate former President H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta to reduce the traffic along the said road and was initially expected to be completed by January 2023.
In the course of its construction, there was confusion among motorists which led to a number of accidents. On 24th August 2022, KURA issued a press statement urging motorists to observe safety precautions while using the road.
