Toll Roads in Kenya

Kenya currently has only one toll road: the Nairobi Expressway. This 27-kilometer highway stretches from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi's Westlands area. The Kenyan government is planning to introduce tolls on more major roads in the country, including roads linking the Athi River to Namanga and Galleria to Karen and Kiambu. For a trip involving the Nairobi Expressway, use the Kenya toll calculator.

Kenya toll road concessionaires

The Nairobi Expressway is operated by Moja Expressway, a subsidiary of China Road and Bridge Corporation. CRBC was responsible for the design, financing, and construction of the expressway under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model. This agreement allows them to operate the toll road and collect toll fees for a concession period to recoup their investment. After this period, ownership and operation will transfer to the Kenyan National Highways Authority (KeNHA).[1]

How to pay tolls in Kenya?

There are three ways to pay tolls while using the Nairobi Expressway.

  • Manual Toll Collection (MTC) Card
  • Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Service
  • Cash Payment


The preferred method for toll payment is using a toll tag, which provides discounts and can also be utilized at multiple parking locations. In Kenya, the toll tag is referred to as ETC. The Moja Expressway company, responsible for managing the 27-kilometer Nairobi Expressway, has revealed that starting in January, M-Pesa will be introduced as a payment method. M-Pesa, a comprehensive mobile money service provided by Safaricom, enables users to store, send, and receive money using their mobile phones.
