The project, spearheaded by the Nairobi City County government, is part of ongoing efforts to modernise the capital and make it more pedestrian-friendly.
The newly constructed pavement stretches along key streets in the CBD, featuring high-quality interlocking tiles, designated walkways, and ramps to accommodate people with disabilities.
Street lighting and clearly marked pedestrian crossings have also been installed to ensure safety, especially during the evening hours.
Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja said the project reflects the city’s commitment to improving infrastructure for residents and visitors.
Business owners in the area have welcomed the upgrade, noting that it will improve access to shops and offices and potentially boost economic activity.
Residents and pedestrians have also expressed satisfaction, highlighting that the new pavement makes walking in the CBD safer and more comfortable.
The county government has promised to maintain the pavement regularly and expand similar upgrades to other parts of Nairobi, reinforcing its vision of a modern and inclusive urban environment.
