The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a public notice announcing the closure of part of the Bomas–Kiserian (B19) Road for a two-month period. The closure, which takes effect from Thursday, August 28, 2025, until Monday, October 20, 2025, is expected to affect traffic around Lang’ata and Kiserian as motorists are advised to seek alternative routes.
According to KeNHA, the road will be closed to facilitate the construction of two box culverts. The infrastructure upgrade is intended to improve drainage and enhance road safety along the busy stretch. Such works are considered critical to long-term road stability and to easing flooding challenges that often disrupt traffic in the area.
The closure will affect the section between Brookhouse/Galleria (Km 0+500) and the Catholic University of Eastern Africa junction (Km 1+000). During this period, motorists will not be able to access the stretch, making it necessary to rely on diversion routes provided by KeNHA.
To ease congestion and minimize inconvenience, KeNHA has outlined two key diversion options for motorists:
1. Option One: Lang’ata Road → Lang’ata South Road → Kiboko Road → Banda Lane → Magadi Road.
2. Option Two: Lang’ata Road → Lang’ata South Road → Kiboko Road → Mukoma Road → Magadi Road (near Shell Petrol Station).
Motorists have been urged to follow diversion signage, adhere to instructions from traffic marshals, and cooperate with police officers to ensure traffic flow remains smooth throughout the construction period.
The Bomas–Kiserian road closure comes shortly after other major traffic disruptions within Nairobi. On August 19, KeNHA announced the temporary closure of the Rironi/Kamandura interchange along Waiyaki Way, Limuru Road, and Mai Mahiu Road, also scheduled for two months. These works are part of ongoing national infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving mobility and connectivity in the city.
While the closure of the Bomas–Kiserian road is set to inconvenience many motorists, KeNHA has emphasized that the project is necessary for long-term road safety and durability. The authority has encouraged road users to remain patient and cooperative during this period, assuring them that the improvements will significantly benefit traffic flow once completed.
