The Thika Superhighway has been partially closed at the Globe Roundabout from March 12 to March 19 for essential bridge repair works, significantly impacting thousands of commuters using one of Nairobi's busiest routes. The closure is to facilitate the reinstatement of the Nairobi River bridge, with traffic experiencing significant disruptions along Thika Road during this period. This infrastructure disruption comes as the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally Kenya 2026 cancelled its third competitive stage (SS3 Camp Moran 2) due to poor road conditions caused by heavy rains, with drivers starting Friday's action later than initially scheduled. A wave of road crashes across Kenya has resulted in the deaths of 10 people, including a four-year-old pupil, renewing urgent calls for stricter road safety measures.
