The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), in a notice, said that part of the highway will be temporarily closed for almost two hours.
The closure will commence at 9am.
According to the agency, the road will be closed at the section between the University Way and Kenyatta Avenue roundabouts on the Mombasa-bound carriageway.
Motorists heading towards Mombasa direction are advised to exit the highway at either Boulevard Hotel onto Moi Avenue and Kenyatta Avenue to rejoin the highway at Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.
They also have an option of exiting at University Way roundabout onto Nyerere Road, Processional Way and Kenyatta Avenue to rejoin the highway at Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.
“KeNHA advises motorists to approach the section with caution and follow the proposed traffic management plan herein as well as as cooperate with the police and traffic marshals on site,” it said.
It was proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference on November 25, 2019, based on a proposal by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO).
This year’s 2025 theme, “Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering”, underscores how engineering plays a critical role in achieving the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The procession will culminate in an event to be held at Daystar University, Valley Road, in Nairobi.
Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) chairperson Erastus Mwongera said that during this day, they sensitise young people in learning institutions, create awareness to engineers and take stock of what has been achieved.
EBK is mandated to keep and maintain the register of engineers in the country and evaluate other engineering programmes, both local and foreign,n for recognition by the Board, among others.
