The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced a two-week partial closure of a section of the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway. This disruption, starting Saturday, August 23, 2025, and ending Sunday, September 7, 2025, affects the vital stretch from Makupa Bridge to the Changamwe Interchange in Mombasa County.

• The closure is to allow for road construction and drainage works on the 6-kilometre section.
• Director General Luka Kimeli stated motorists would share a section of the Nairobi-bound road, operating both directions on one carriageway.
• The Makupa-Changamwe section is a highly trafficked artery, serving the Port of Mombasa, and has experienced similar disruptions since drainage construction began in November 2024.
