The MauMau road -Kamahindu- Matimbei section in Lari sub-county, Kiambu County has temporarily been closed to pave the way for the construction of a concrete pavement along this route.
The 500-meter permanent concrete pavement will take a period of two months for the construction works to be completed.
It is designed to withstand road traffic and weathering actions while ensuring comfortable and safe riding conditions as well as low costs and damage to the environment.
Lari MP Joseph Mburu Kahangara advised Vehicles to use the Kagwe girls road to join the Matimbei – Githunguri road near Gituraini junction.
The road construction and several others are taking place concurrently after the recent launch by area MP.
