President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Nairobi Expressway will be open for public use on May 14.
Speaking on Sunday during the City Marathon, Uhuru said the highway would be open for testing.
“We will allow Kenyans to use the highway to see the loopholes before the official launch,” He said.
“Starting on Saturday, the highway will be operational so that we can continue to build Nairobi and Kenya as a whole.” Added.
The road is expected to reduce travel time in Nairobi and its environs especially for those who will use the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) service.
Motorists can choose to use the Manual Toll Collection (MTC) or ETC as soon as they arrive at service stations.
In addition to the ban on photography, people using skates, pedestrians, two- and three-wheeled vehicles (tuk tuks), wheelbarrows and bicycles have also been banned from using the 27-kilometer road.
On April 17, the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) urged drivers to make plans to use the road before its commencement dates.
