The Real Reason These Nairobi Roads Cost KSh 10 Billion

Kenya is investing nearly KSh 10 billion in the Kenyatta Avenue Viaduct, Upper Hill Viaduct, and Ngong Road–Naivasha Road Flyover to reduce Nairobi traffic congestion and transform the city's transport network. But why do these roads cost so much? In this documentary, we explore the real reason behind some of Nairobi's most ambitious infrastructure projects. From the busy streets of CBD Nairobi to the rapidly growing business district of Upper Hill, and from Valley Road to Ngong Road, these projects are designed to eliminate major traffic bottlenecks and improve mobility across the city. Led by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), these viaducts and flyovers form part of a broader effort to modernize Nairobi transport infrastructure, support economic growth, and prepare Kenya's capital for the future. As Nairobi continues to expand, investments in roads, bridges, and urban mobility are becoming increasingly important to the success of Kenya Vision 2030. Join me as we examine the engineering, construction challenges, economic impact, and long-term benefits of these mega infrastructure projects. Are these roads worth the investment? And will they finally solve Nairobi's traffic problems?
