The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced the temporary closure of parts of Uhuru Highway and the Haile Selassie Roundabout in Nairobi City. This closure, scheduled from Friday, January 16, to Sunday, January 18, 2026, will occur in intervals between 10 pm and 5 am for road maintenance.

• The closure affects Upper Hill Bound Lanes, Nairobi Central Business District Bound Lanes, and Mombasa and Nakuru Bound Lanes.
