Motorists using the Thika Superhighway can now experience improved travel conditions after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) reinstated normal traffic flow at Globe Roundabout following a temporary closure.
In a public notice issued on March 25, 2026, KeNHA confirmed that movement along the section has resumed following the completion of reinstatement works at the Nairobi River Bridge.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to inform motorists and the public that traffic flow at Globe Roundabout along Thika Superhighway (A2) has been restored. Motorists can now resume normal travel along this section,” stated KeNHA Director General Luka Kimeli.
The temporary closure had disrupted movement between the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), Kipande Road and Thika Superhighway while engineers performed restoration works on the bridge.
During the one-week period, KeNHA implemented several traffic diversions to alleviate congestion within the affected corridor.
Motorists traveling from Thika toward the CBD were instructed to use the Globe Overpass, while those heading toward University Way were diverted through Prof. Wangari Maathai Road.
Traffic from Kipande Road was rerouted via Limuru Road at Fig Tree before reconnecting to Prof. Wangari Maathai Road, as authorities worked to manage flow around the busy junction.
The authority subsequently expressed its appreciation to the public for their cooperation during the disruption period.
“KeNHA thanks the cooperation, patience, and understanding demonstrated by motorists and residents during this period,” the statement read.
