Roads in Nairobi's informal settlements will soon have walkways and cycle lanes, Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) has announced.
The authority says walkways and cycle lanes are an essential part of the ongoing construction of 408km of access roads across the capital's informal settlements.
Kura said yesterday that 22km of access roads under the Sh5.8 billion project had already been completed.
Kura Director-General Silas Kinoti said the model for the planned walkways and cycle lanes in slums borrows from the non-motorised transport corridors project being implemented by Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) in the city's Central Business District.
