The busy Langata, which serves the residents of Ongata Rongai, Karen and Langata will be partially closed. The closed section stretches between Lusaka and Madaraka roundabouts.
Moreover, motorists planning to use Mombasa Road will be impacted because the government will not allow them to access the section from Lusaka roundabout to the Bunyala roundabout.
Diversions/How to access Nairobi CBD during the CHAN 2024 tournament.
In order to help motorists navigate these closures, the traffic police have provided several alternatives.
For those traveling to the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), they have been advised to use the Likoni-Enterprise road.
Meanwhile, those who usually use the Langata Road to travel to Nairobi CBD are allowed to use Muhoho Road or the Raila Odinga Road.
On the other hand, motorists using the Thika Super Highway to access Nairobi CBD have been advised to consider diverting towards the Eastern Bypass, Limuru Road or Kiambu Road.
Furthermore, the Matatus that will carry passengers to the Moi International Sports Centre (MISC) Kasarani Stadium have been urged to use the Ngomongo Road and Baba Dogo Road.
These road closures and diversions are meant to make it easy for people to access Kasarani Stadium and Nyayo Stadium during the CHAN tournament that is scheduled to end on Saturday, August 30.
