The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is seeking to amend the construction times of the planned elevated traffic interchange at the current Lang ata Road-Mbagathi Way junction referred to as the T-Mall Flyover.
In a questionnaire to residents living in estates neighbouring the project dated February 15, the government agency stated that increasing the working hours would fast track the construction of the flyover. KeNHA proposes the extension of working hours from the currently approved construction hours of 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays and 8 am - 1 pm on Saturdays, to overnight working and transportation of materials, the notice reads in part.
