Ruto Updates Progress on Nairobi's Ksh3 Billion Viaduct Project

President William Ruto has provided an update on the Kenyatta Avenue–Upper Hill viaduct project, stating it is more than 50% complete.

The Ksh3 billion project, which includes a one-kilometer elevated dual carriageway, aims to improve connections between Nairobi’s Central Business District and Upper Hill.

The viaduct is expected to ease congestion and provide an alternative route, reducing pressure on surrounding roads during peak hours.

Construction, which began in September 2020, is now scheduled for completion in May 2027, after facing delays due to construction challenges and payment disputes.
