About the Ngong Road–Naivasha Road Flyover

The Ngong Road–Naivasha Road Flyover, also known as the Junction Mall Viaduct, is still under construction as of March 2026. Overseen by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), the project aims to ease chronic traffic congestion at the busy intersection of Ngong Road, Naivasha Road, and Kingara Road.

Funded through a concessional loan of Ksh 3.58 billion (EUR 25.3 million) from the Spanish Corporate International Fund (FIEM), the flyover is expected to be completed by July 2027. The initiative aligns with the Kenyan government’s efforts to strengthen infrastructure, enhance urban mobility, and support long-term economic growth.

Once completed, the flyover is expected to reduce congestion, saving time for motorists, public transport users, and pedestrians. It will also prioritize safety by including Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, modern street lighting, and upgraded drainage systems to reduce flooding during the rainy season.
