The government plans to launch the groundbreaking ceremony for the proposed Nairobi-Thika Expressway within two months, according to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.

The 60-kilometre elevated road will link Thika town to Nairobi at Museum Hill, with preliminary cost estimates ranging from KSh 150 billion to KSh 200 billion.

A feasibility study was recently commissioned to examine possible alignments, engineering specifications, and traffic capacity, as well as environmental and social impacts.
