Guys, either way, all nairobi environs will eventually be congested, road expansion or not! The fix lies in a multi-prong approach to solving congestion not refusing to take the first steps into developing infrastructure!!! geez. The highways still need to be expanded with roundabouts knocked up (an engineers problem not tax-payers) & aggressively pursue by-passes without relenting to public pressure, the metro-rails built as is in the CURRENT planning & implementation, decentralize government services and pursue satellite cities like Konza. Give credit where it is due for once.

With the Lamu project coming up, Isiolo's status will change. Most of the goods to Nairobi will pass through Isiolo as Mombasa has now exceeded its capacity. A dual carriageway is planned for the whole stretch. The other issues is roads are not built to serve us now, but to serve for he next25 or 50 years depending on the design life.

i have noticed those markers on trees and on fence posts that indicate road markings almost done on all before road construction and rumours once held that there is a dual carriage way coming. when i do not know i repeat these are rumours(dont lynch me)

How I wish something could be done quickly on The Uhuru Highway, Outering Road and Southern Bypass. The full benefit of Thika Road would be realized. Am sure the CBD is not the final destination of all those coming from Thika. It reminds me of taking 3.5hrs driving from Kisumu to Westlands and then 1.5hrs from Westlands to Imara Daima due to the Jam.

The cancer eating this country remains tribalism. Having driven extensively on kenyan roads, Thika road project was long overdue, being the busiest in east n central Africa. The risk of the noble project getting unfair tribal n political tags runs high though. The appaling state of some other very important roads really irks me. Voi-Taveta, Eld-Ktl, Wby-Ksm, Ktl-S.Sudan, Outering, juja rd....Thank God most of them are soon to be given a facelift. BTW, the recently completed Sagana-Marua highway (A2) is now full of potholes barely 2yrs later, courtesy of one Kirinyaga Construction. ABK.
