The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has announced a significant road closure that will affect motorists in Mlolongo and Syokimau. Quarry Road will be closed from 6 AM on Monday, February 24, 2025, to 6 PM on Friday, April 25, 2025. The road will be inaccessible for two months due to rehabilitation and improvement works.
Road Closure Impact on Motorists
This road closure will cause severe disruptions in the affected areas. Commuters and businesses using Quarry Road should prepare for delays and congestion. KURA advises motorists to use alternative routes and follow the guidance of traffic police and marshals stationed in the area.
Why Is This Road Closure Necessary?
The rehabilitation work aims to improve road conditions and enhance urban mobility. The construction will ensure a smoother driving experience, reduce vehicle wear and tear, and improve traffic flow. While the closure may be inconvenient, the upgrades will provide long-term benefits for both residents and businesses.
Alternative Routes for Motorists
To minimize the impact of the road closure, motorists should consider alternative routes. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority has provided a map detailing detour options. Following these routes will help reduce congestion and keep traffic moving smoothly.
What This Means for Businesses
Due to the closure, businesses along Quarry Road may experience reduced customer traffic. However, improved road conditions after the project will likely boost economic activity in the long run. Businesses should inform their customers about alternative access routes to minimize disruptions.
