The Nairobi Expressway has announced that two toll stations will be closed this coming weekend for 10 hours.
In a notice, Moja Expressway Company, which is in charge of the operations of the 27.1-kilometre elevated road, revealed that the Mlolongo toll station and the Syokimau entrance A will be closed during that period.
The two toll stations will be closed from Saturday, April 12, at 10 p.m. until Sunday, April 13, at 8 a.m.
"Please note that Mlolongo Toll Station and Syokimau Entrance A (opposite Dinlas Pharma) will remain closed on Saturday, 12th April 2025, from 10:00 pm to Sunday, 13th April 2025 at 8:00 am," the notice read in part.

The company said the closure was necessary to make way for the construction of a pedestrian overpass in the Katani area.
As a result, drivers who usually use the two toll stations were advised to switch to the alternative stations available. "CBD-bound motorists using the Mlolongo & Syokimau entrance A are advised to use the SGR entrance, while Mlolongo-bound motorists are advised to use the JKIA exit," added the notice.
Moja Expressway company advised motorists to plan their trips accordingly, as the closure will significantly affect traffic.
