According to KeNHA, the closure will be executed in phase intervals during less busy hours between 10 pm to 5 am, to avoid interference with traffic flow.

“KeNHA wishes to notify the public that there will be a temporary closure of road sections on Uhuru Highway/Haile Selassie Roundabout. The closure is scheduled in phase intervals between 10 pm to 5 am from Friday January 16, 2026 to Sunday January 18, 2026,” the statement read.

The second phase will be done from Friday January 23, 2026 to Sunday 25, 2026, during the same time intervals.
