Pedestrians who use the Haile Selassie, Mombasa Road, Uhuru Highway and Ngong Road roundabout will from June use the Greenpark terminus pedestrian underpass that is now nearing completion.
The underpass network worth Sh2 billion is now at 99 percent complete and is expected to be open to the public use.
According to the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) the tunnel will be ready by June, 2026.
Already, the tunnel has been installed with CCTV cameras, seven elevators for differently abled people and the lights are already on.
At the moment the ongoing works include covering drainages and fixing a manhole that will ensure that all the water spilling over to this place is collected in one point and then pumped out.
It expected that the tunned will serve about 1,000 people per day, 8,500 during the peak hours, but the average per day is about 21,000 pedestrians.
The project being constructed by China Roads and Bridge Corporation as part of smart city initiative comes with outstanding features for pedestrians divided into four tunnels with a total length of 176 metres.
Underpass 1 cuts from Haile Selassie towards Railways, underpass 2 cuts through Mombasa Road, underpass 3 leads to Upper Hill and underpass 4 leads passengers towards Westlands.
For people with disabilities, the facility has seven elevators and tactile tiles to guide people with visual impairment.
The underpass has 39 stalls and shops that are expected to boost security around and to provide a business environment.
