The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has extended the closure of Eldoret Road in Nairobi's Eastlands area until December 30, impacting a vital link for commuters.

• The road closure, initially set to end on September 18, is due to delays in construction materials and unforeseen site challenges for a new vehicular bridge across the Nairobi River.
• KURA cited logistical issues and site-specific difficulties as reasons for the extension.
• A temporary pedestrian bridge is available for residents while construction continues on the bridge, which began on May 18, 2026.
