The construction of Nairobi's Green Park underpass at the intersection of Uhuru Highway and Haile Selassie Avenue is nearing completion.
Deputy Chief of Staff for Performance and Delivery Management Eliud Owalo on Friday said the modern urban infrastructure will ease pedestrian movement and facilitate smooth traffic flow into the central business district.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the project, Mr Owalo said the underpass located at the busy intersection of Uhuru Highway and Haile Selassie Avenue is now 88 per cent complete.
Owalo said once opened, it will provide pedestrians with a secure and efficient route beneath the major Uhuru highway, linking Uhuru Park, the Nairobi Railways station, and Haile Selassie Avenue directly to the central business district without crossing chaotic traffic lanes. "This Green Park underpass is not just any construction project, it is the embodiment of a vision to modernise Nairobi's urban landscape because it is not only creating a crossing but an experience," said Mr Owalo.
