The construction of the pedestrian underpass network at the Greenpark Terminus is ongoing.

The infrastructure features modern amenities, including washrooms, stalls, and a stairwell leading underground, with aeration systems installed to ensure fresh air circulation.

The Sh2 billion project, funded through the Road Maintenance Levy Fund, is designed to ease congestion and improve safety at the busy Haile Selassie Avenue-Uhuru Highway intersection.

The network will consist of four underpasses, including two across Haile Selassie Avenue and two across Uhuru Highway, with lengths ranging from 29 metres to 106 metres.

According to the Kenya National Highways Authority, the underpass will accommodate the more than 21,000 pedestrians who use the intersection daily, including about 8,500 at peak hours.

The facility will also host 24-hour stalls to enhance security and activity within the tunnels, which will be monitored around the clock.

Authorities say the underpass is expected to address pedestrian-traffic conflict in the area, a long-standing safety risk, while offering seamless access between the terminus and the city centre.

The government has assured users that the design prioritises safety, accessibility, and user comfort once completed.
