The Nairobi Expressway is fast transforming the capital’s landscape. Expected to be completed later this month, the multibillion project is expected to ease travel woes by halving the travel time. The government and experts say the Sh62 billion expressway project will define the city differently. “The expressway will define the city of Nairobi in ways that we never thought of before," Alfred Omenya, an architect, said. [That means] it has to be managed well to avoid dystopia.”Town and County Planners Associations chairman Mairura Omwenga has also raised similar issues as raised by Omenya.
