Motorists will pay up to Ksh 350 more to use the Nairobi Expressway, after the government reviewed the toll charges to match the strengthening of the dollar in the past one year.
Motorists using the road that links Mlolongo to the Nairobi-Nakuru highway via Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will pay between Ksh 120 and Ksh 1,800 up from the previous rates of between Ksh 100 Sh and Ksh 1,550
The government increased the charges to cushion the Chinese investor funding the road, against exchange losses in the wake of the shilling weakening to record lows against the dollar.
The new rates are based on the dollar trading as at last December which was Ksh 113 14cents up from Ksh103 Sh 79 cents in a similar period in 2020.
