The government, on Friday, May 23, announced that the Nairobi Green Park Underpass is 88 percent complete.
As per the Government Delivery Unit, this modern urban infrastructure will ease pedestrian movement and facilitate smooth traffic flow into the central business district.
Drawing inspiration from some of the world-class urban designs, for instance, London's renowned pedestrian underpasses, the project is expected to 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.
Located at the busy intersection of Uhuru Highway and Haile Selassie Avenue, Deputy Chief of Staff for Performance and Delivery Management, Eliud Owalo, disclosed that the underpass would ensure pedestrians' safety without crossing chaotic traffic lanes.
