Red Zone: Eastern Bypass road expansion from 75 roundabout to Ruiru Bypass
The construction of Eastern Bypass expansion to dual carriage way is still progressing even though behind schedule now. I can estimate about 70% done and that is only on laying of tarmac and kerb construction. The Transport CS James Macharia had earlier in the year indicated the road will be ready for use by June 2022 while on an inspection tour. Markings are not yet done and some areas are still under heavy construction. 
That said, some serious accidents have been witnessed along the road occasioned by poor judgment on motorists using the road. While there is adequate signage and diversions markings warning motorists to drive cautiously, most are throwing caution to the wind and speeding recklessly along the construction corridor. I have highlighted some of the risky areas along the construction of the road expansion.
