By EDWIN OKOTHMore by this AuthorThe Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) is set to build a new exchange linking the Outer Ring Road and Thika Super Highway to ease the traffic at the junction between the two major highways. The new exchange is expected to restore the glory of Outer Ring road, initially conceived as a game changer for the eastern part of Nairobi where a high population density has led to heavy traffic over the years. The Kura, which is in charge of the road said an interchange plan was mooted at after it emerged that the link was not well thought out. The junction has one of the worst traffic snarl-ups during peak hours. Outer Ring Road, which was designed to be a congestion-relief highway, traverses two of the most densely-populated areas in the capital city — Nairobi East and Nairobi North districts.
