Motorists stuck in traffic pile-up on Nairobi Expressway

A huge traffic snarl up is presently building up on the Nairobi Expressway.

Motorists using the express service on Tuesday night experienced traffic at exits along Mombasa Road.

The tailback is said to have started at Syokimau all the way to Mlolongo.

Motorists decried spending more time on the Expressway as the payment process took longer than expected.

Meanwhile, traffic on the normal lane continues to flow, much to the dismay of those who opted for the Expressway.

The Expressway was officially opened to the public by Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia on May 14, 2022.

The highway’s operators previously announced that motorists would not be allowed to pay using the M-Pesa service.

Moja Expressway, a subsidiary of China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), said only cash and electronic card payment will be allowed in a bid to avoid traffic congestion at tolling points.
