The Nairobi Expressway: A Marvel of Modern Engineering

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Westlands, head towards Sarit Centre. Once you reach Sarit Centre, exit from the main entrance and walk towards the roundabout. Take the first exit at the roundabout onto General Mathenge Road. Continue walking straight until you reach the intersection with Waiyaki Way. The Nairobi Expressway entrance is located at this intersection, approximately a 15-minute walk from Sarit Centre.

• Matatu (Public Minibus)

  Locate the nearest matatu stage in Westlands, typically found near Sarit Centre or Westgate Mall. Board a matatu heading towards the Westlands area, specifically those that have signs indicating 'Waiyaki Way' or 'Westlands.' Inform the conductor that you want to alight at the junction with Waiyaki Way. The fare is usually around 50-100 KES. Once you get off, the Nairobi Expressway entrance is a short walk away, just cross the street.

• Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)

  Find a boda boda stand in Westlands, which are commonly located near shopping centers. Negotiate a fare with the rider, which typically costs between 100-200 KES to reach the Nairobi Expressway entrance. Ensure you communicate that you want to go to the entrance near Waiyaki Way. The ride will take about 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic.

• Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service

  If you prefer a more comfortable option, consider using a taxi or a ride-hailing service like Uber or Bolt. Open the app and set your destination to 'Nairobi Expressway, PRJ6+XRR.' The fare will vary, but expect to pay between 300-600 KES depending on traffic and your exact starting point in Westlands. The journey should take around 10-15 minutes.
