A hump at the start and another at the end. Those are the only structures asking drivers to slow down on the Nairobi expressway. In-between is a 27-kilometre four-lane carriageway built along the median strips of Mombasa Road, Waiyaki Way and Uhuru Highway.

This is the Nairobi Expressway – one of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s signature projects, which was opened for public trial on Saturday morning.
