The statement from Moja Expressway advised, "Please be advised that there will be ongoing road maintenance works at Haile Selassie Toll Station Entrance B (next to Kenya Railways Museum) from Thursday, 25th to Tuesday, 30th January 2024.

Haile Selassie Exit Plaza This maintenance announcement follows the recent initiation of the trial operation for the Nairobi Expressway Haile Selassie Exit Plaza, which commenced last week.
Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen inaugurated the trial operation, recognizing the positive impact it would have on regional traffic flow.
"We are pleased to announce that the trial operation of the newly completed Nairobi Expressway Haile Selassie Exit Plaza will commence on Saturday, January 20, 2024," Moja Expressway stated.
Murkomen emphasized that the Haile Selassie Exit Plaza is designed to alleviate traffic congestion for motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and other entry points along Mombasa Road.
The exit features five lanes, directing traffic in two directions: one leading to Processional Way into Haile Selassie Avenue and the other towards Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.
“The new Exit, which has five lanes, will now grant motorists using the Expressway from Mlolongo, JKIA, and other entry points along Mombasa Road, easy access to the Nairobi CBD, Ngong Road, and Upper Hill and reduce traffic congestion from Capital Centre to Haile Selassie roundabout,” Murkomen explained.
