In public notices issued on Monday, June 8, KURA said sections of Kenyatta Avenue, Valley Road and Jakaya Kikwete Road will be partially closed for eight months, from June 12, 2026, to February 12, 2027.

“We wish to notify the general public that sections of Kenyatta Avenue, Valley Road and Jakaya Kikwete Road will be partially closed as from Friday, 12th June 2026 till Friday, 12th February 2027,” KURA said.

The authority explained that the extended closure is necessary to facilitate bridge construction works under ongoing road infrastructure improvement projects within the city.

KURA also announced a four-month partial closure of a section of Haile Selassie Avenue, which will run from June 12 to October 12, 2026.
