Traffic Haul, Chaos As Ruto Commissions Ksh3.8B Ngong Road Flyover
President William Ruto has commissioned the Ngong Road flyover, signalling that motorists may now begin utilizing the route.
The road, costing Ksh. 3.58 billion and built by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), was commissioned by the Head of State on Monday.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Ruto said traffic congestion has for years imposed significant economic and social costs on the city by delaying workers.
This increased the cost of doing business and reduced productivity.
“For too long, congestion has imposed a heavy cost on our economy and on the daily lives of our people,” Ruto said.

“It has delayed workers on their way to earning a living, increased the cost of doing business, kept traders away from customers and taken precious time away from families.”
He described congestion as not merely a transport challenge but an economic one, noting that every hour spent in traffic translates into lost productivity, delayed income and missed opportunities.
According to KURA, the overpass aims to improve the efficiency of the Ngong Road by implementing grade separation to address continuous traffic congestion.

According to KURA, the flyover will remove congestion at the critical junction on Ngong Road, reducing travel time for automobiles, public transit users, and pedestrians alike.
The road project also included the inclusion of Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) facilities, ensuring secure travel for pedestrians and cyclists.
In addition, he said the government is constructing access roads to Talanta Sports City through a Sh3.9 billion investment as part of preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament scheduled for next year.
The President further revealed plans to dual the 23.5-kilometre Kiambu Road corridor from Muthaiga to Kiambu and its bypasses through a project valued at 221 million US dollars, approximately Sh30 billion.
He also disclosed that a modern traffic management centre valued at 60 million US dollars, about Sh7.9 billion, is already under construction and will support efforts to improve traffic flow and mobility within the city.
Ruto said the ongoing investments are intended to create a transport network capable of supporting Nairobi’s growing population.
