As of Thursday morning, June 5, 2025, Nairobi and Kenya's national roads are experiencing varying traffic conditions influenced by ongoing construction projects, weather patterns, and peak-hour congestion. Here's a comprehensive overview
*NAIROBI CITY TRAFFIC*
*Ngong Road:*
Busy from Racecourse to Prestige; school vans are clogging the right lanes. Avoid if you're in a rush.
*Thika Road:*
Movement is better than usual between Kasarani and Pangani — but snarl-ups are building at Allsops. Trucks heading toward Industrial Area are part of the problem.
*Mombasa Road:*
Sluggish near Syokimau due to overlapping matatus, bodaboda and tuk-tuks
*Lang’ata Road:*
It’s a circus around T-Mall due to rush hour situation.
*Waiyaki Way:*
Inbound traffic is crawling from Mountain View to Westlands — no incident reported, just Nairobi being Nairobi.
*Southern Bypass:*
Fairly smooth, but If you're using it as an airport detour, budget for extra minutes.
*Eastern Bypass:*
Expect brief stops near Kamakis, but generally traffic is moving steadily.
*Northern Bypass:*
Light traffic this morning. Use it while you can.
*NATIONAL ROADS UPDATE*
*Nairobi–Nakuru (A104):*
Moderate traffic. Watch for farm trucks near Naivasha slowing things down.
*Mombasa–Nairobi (A109):*
Smooth in most sections but there’s a police check around Mtito Andei — it’s not causing delays, but slow down unless you want a lecture.
*Kisumu–Kakamega Road:*
Muddy and messy from last night’s downpour. Motorists are taking detours via Maseno.
*Eldoret–Kitale Road:*
Livestock on the road near Moi’s Bridge again. You can’t make this stuff up.
*💡 Smart Tips*
*Want speed?*
Use boda bodas but wear a jacket — with light showers and cool air, you'll arrive on time but frozen.
*Have mobile data?*
Google Maps and Waze are active in Nairobi — but ignore alerts about “speed traps,” most are user-generated rumors.
*Late start?*
Wait till 10 a.m. if you can. Peak traffic today is expected to clear earlier because it's midweek and no major political events are planned.
