Kenya is not ready for the kind of interchanges you may have in mind. Probably in future but for now, Kenya needs to clear up the roads, get traffic moving again. The 2030 spartial draft that planned the city to go all the way to Thika and Machakos may have that in the plans. With the airport, technology etc cities planned, that will be a must.

there are some interchanges that i haven't seen in any highway in this World! They simply erase the true meaning of a highway put aside the connotation super highway!

the road is just excellent. i've been to embu and back with such ease because of it. once i think we did the trip in one hour 15 minutes!


i voted 4 stars. why? i think they should have incorporated better drainage systems into it's construction. i've been on the new roads and at some places it was totally flooded. i'm not a daily user (nakuru *****) so maybe someone knows more than me. maybe they were construction related floods(?) so they might be around now but still, 4 stars is excellent.
