Kenha Director General Peter Mundinia said that the extension is to allow sufficient time for the contractor to complete installation of culverts. Motorists have been advised to use alternative routes (Aerodrome Road, Baricho Road or Dunga Road). Kenha earlier stated that the traffic disruption being witnessed along the Mombasa Road all the way to James Gichuru Road, is being caused by the ongoing construction of the Nairobi Expressway project. The Nairobi Expressway which is a 27.1km highway starts from Mlolongo through Uhuru Highway and terminating at James Gichuru Road in Westlands. The Expressway will have 10 interchanges at Mlolongo, SGR, JKIA, Eastern and Western bypasses, Capital Center, Haile Selassie, Museum Hill, Westlands and James Gichuru Roads.
