The Nairobi Region Implementation Coordination Management Committee has expressed satisfaction with the advancement of three major infrastructure projects in the city following a recent inspection tour.

Led by Regional Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha alongside officials from the Government Delivery Unit (GDU) and the Executive Office of the President, the team evaluated the construction status of the Talanta Sports Complex, the Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC), and the Greenpark Terminus Pedestrian Underpass.

Talanta Sports Complex

Construction at Talanta Sports Complex has reached 92.57%, with completion anticipated ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which Kenya will co-host with Uganda and Tanzania. The 45.64-hectare facility will boast a 60,000-seat stadium, multiple training grounds for football and rugby, parking areas, an Olympic-standard swimming pool, conference spaces, food courts, fan zones, and a police station. Over 2,400 workers are currently engaged on-site.

Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC)

At BICC, the main convention centre stands 86.21% complete, while Phase One of the entire project is 43.66% finished. Current activities include installing roof panels, purlins, curtain walls, and air-conditioning systems. Scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026, the centre will feature a Presidential Conference Wing, a 3,500-seat auditorium, and modern convention facilities to enhance Kenya’s role as a regional conference hub. The project employs more than 2,600 workers.

Greenpark Terminus Pedestrian Underpass

The Greenpark Terminus Pedestrian Underpass, located at the Haile Selassie Avenue and Uhuru Highway junction, is 98.99% complete. Remaining tasks involve utility hookups and electrical and mechanical installations. The underpass, designed to improve pedestrian safety at one of Nairobi’s busiest intersections with over 8,500 daily crossings during peak hours, includes four pedestrian tunnels, seven elevators for persons with disabilities, 39 commercial stalls, two ablution blocks, a control room, and a 150,000-litre water tank.

The government emphasizes that these inspections are part of routine monitoring efforts to track progress, address challenges, and ensure timely delivery of priority national projects to required standards.
