It will be interesting to see how matatus and pedestrians will fit-into this road and whether there will be bus stops for Matatu. My other major concern is those footbridges built by H-Young along Mombasa road that costs hundreds of millions as well as the trees lining Waiyaki way. Either way the project is welcomed and long overdue.
It's an expressway. No room for pedestrians and will probably be too expensive for Bodas and Ubers to use. Most likely will be reserved for Bus Rapid Transit, private vehicles and trailers.
and no footbridges, may in fact require relocation / destruction of 1 or 2 existing ones on Msa. rd. if the below article is accurate:

Two existing footbridges that were erected less than five years ago, and at what was suspected to have been inflated costs, will have to give way.
At least Sh363 million was paid to the contractor, H Young, for the two bridges at the General Motors crossing and another at Bellevue in South C that under investigations by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission
