The Kenya Urban Roads Authority has announced a six-month closure of the Links Road in Nyali.

In a notice on Tuesday, July 22, KURA said the road will be closed from August 1, 2025, to January 30, 2026.

According to the notice, the closure is to allow construction works along the road, aimed at providing a lasting solution to the persistent flooding and drainage challenges affecting the route

The Authority also advised motorists to exercise caution when approaching the affected area.

“Kenya Urban Roads Authority seeks to inform the general public of a road closure along Links Road–Nyali in Mombasa County from 6:00 AM on Friday, 1st August 2025, to 6:00 PM on Friday, 30th January 2026 (6 Months)." reads the notice.

Last week, Mombasa Senator Mohammed Faki raised a concern in the senate concerning the poor state of the road calling for urgent action.

"This road especially near the Quickmart supermarket has become a huge concern to residents and other road users. Something needs to be done urgently, we cannot be complaining about the same issue everyday" said Senator Faki.
