It connects the neighborhood of Ruaka to the neighborhood of Ruiru, both in Nairobi County.[1] LocationThis road starts in the neighborhood called Ruaka, approximately {{convert|16|km|0}}, north-west of the central business district of Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya.[2] From there, the road travels in a general easterly direction through Runda. It briefly crosses into Kiambu County, passes underneath Kiambu Road, re-enters Nairobi County and continues to a neighborhood called Marurui. At Marurui, the road takes a north-easterly direction, crosses Kamiti Road, then passes through Kahawa and re-enters Kiambu Couty, to end at the Nairobi Eastern Bypass Highway in Ruiru.[3] The highway measures approximately {{convert|21|km|0}}, from end to end. [4] OverviewThis road is one of the four bypass highways built to direct motorized traffic away from the central business district of the city of Nairobi, to alleviate the perennial traffic jams on the city streets. The bypass highways include (a) Nairobi Western Bypass Highway (b) Nairobi Eastern Bypass Highway (c) Nairobi Southern Bypass Highway and (d) Nairobi Northern Bypass Highway. It is one of these four bypass roads that form a {{convert|96.7|km|0}} ring-road around the city.[5] ConstructionThe highway was constructed between 2009,[6] and 2014,[7] as a two-lane, single carriageway road. The work was performed by China Road and Bridge Corporation. Work on this road together with the {{convert|32|km|0}} Nairobi Eastern Bypass Highway, was budgeted at KSh8.5 billion (US$85 million). The funding for both these roads was as illustrated in the table below.[1]
ExpansionIn 2018, the Kenyan government contracted Sinohydro Limited to convert the Nairobi Northern Bypass Highway to a four-lane dual carriageway with culverts, drainage channels and walkways on both sides. It is estimated that dualling the Northern and Eastern Bypass Highways will cost anywhere from KSh30 billion to KSh40 billion (US$300 million to US$400 million).[8] The process is on-going, as of March 2019.[9] See also
