The supply of water to areas along the route will be disrupted due ongoing construction of the Nairobi Expressway Highway.
The shutdown will facilitate interconnection of the relocated new and old water pipelines on Uhuru Highway between Haile Selassie Avenue and Bunyala Road junctions with Uhuru highway.
This will enable the release of the road corridor to the Expressway Road Contractor .

Nairobi Expressway update
As of July 2021, the completion of the Nairobi Expressway was reported to be at 45% as workers pull night shifts to ensure the civil works are completed by the end of 2021.
Traffic has been disrupted along the Mombasa Road, Uhuru Highway, and Waiyaki Way as a result of the construction work.
Motorists are forced to sit in traffic for long periods of time, wasting both time and fuel.
Power lines constructed beside the road are also affected by the ongoing development.
