APA-Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) Kenya named an avenue exit at a newly built Expressway after the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile-Selassie, APA reported on Monday.
The launch of the new avenue which took place at the Green Park adjacent to Uhuru Park aims to ease traffic into the Central Business District.
The exit terminates in two directions; one headed to Processional Way into Haile Selassie Avenue and the other towards Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.
The new Exit, which has five lanes, will now grant motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, JKIA, and other entry points along Mombasa Road, easy access to the Nairobi CBD, Ngong Road, and Upper Hill and reduce traffic congestion from Capital Centre to Haile Selassie roundabout.
The construction of the new exit commenced in late 2023 with its completion earmarked for mid-January 2024.
