Over 56,000 Vehicles have used the Expressway in 8 days, CS Macharia says
The number of motorists using the new Chinese-built Nairobi Expressway hit 23,600 to Friday last week since it was fully opened for public use on May 14, according to Cabinet Secretary for Transport James Wainaina Macharia.
Speaking to Metropol TV at a hotel in Nairobi, CS Macharia attributed the uptick in usage to the Ksh.65 billion road’s efficiency which has improved the city’s mobility system.
According to him, Saturday recorded the highest number of users at 18,000 cars followed by Sunday at 15, 000, bringing the total number of cars that used the Expressway over the weekend to 33, 000.
