How the Southern Bypass has Facilitated the Growth Of Thigio in Kikuyu
Initially, Thigio was really not what it has become now that the Southern Bypass was constructed. There has been a great change in things, especially in terms of development. The population was very scarce due to its inaccessibility and lack of development. But with the completion of the Southern Bypass Highway, the area has now tremendously grown over the last few years, with more people building homes and setting up businesses in the area, especially those working in the Nairobi CBD.Firstly, the highway acts as a great link to other counties and other places in Nairobi County and Kiambu at large. Initially, it was a two-way traffic, but now it has been turned into a one-way, and at times it can even accommodate up to four vehicles, thus a four-lane way. This has reduced traffic and made more regions more accessible. If you reside in Kikuyu, specifically Thigio, it would roughly take you 30 minutes to access the Nairobi CBD, and the highway is traffic-clearing. Another added advantage is that there’s the Nairobi Expressway once you’ve arrived at Nairobi West, and should you want to escape the Nairobi traffic, you can also use the Expressway, which will take you all the way to the museum and any other area you may want to access or exit.
The newly constructed Southern Bypass has made social amenities easily accessible that were initially not there, and it has also eased delivery that happens daily and in a few minutes, something that initially used to take centuries to arrive. There are the likes of cooperative banks, Java, art cafés, restaurants, and even pizza huts, together with Kentucky Fries and Chicken (KFC), that are in abundance at the moment.
Thigio has now grown tremendously, having established quite a number of recreational sports where families can go and spend time during the holidays, as well as other well-known entertainment areas where people can go and rest, experiencing a cool, ample environment as they take their drinks and reflect.
These areas in Thigio always flood with people, especially during the weekends when families get time to spend time with their children. There are also spacious areas where people can host events and even birthday parties at affordable prices.Not forgetting the famous cave in Kikuyu, many tourists are now able to stop by and get to see the outstanding views of Kikuyu, along with other graffiti designs that are along the way. Speaking of the education facilities, Thigio in Kikuyu has thrived on that as well, as it is now with some of the best national high schools that are well recognized on the map, such as Alliance Boys and Girls High School, even up to the primary level, which assures parents that their children will be given the best education and are surrounded by a good environment suitable for learning free from distractions of the town.
The Southern Bypass has also helped the Thigio residents get job opportunities because of the newly constructed business places in the area, including whole sales, restaurants, and filling stations, among many other things that have been set up following the newly constructed highway. Recreational centers that increase day by day, companies that offer public transport, industries, schools, and hospitals, among others, have improved the livelihoods of both people living in Thigio and outside the area.
The area is growing at a fast rate, and soon enough, the plots that were going for 800,000 ksh will now be going for millions of ksh because of the way the area is appreciating value. Its ample and serene environment gives off rural vibes away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi city. This has attracted more families to settle in the area, resulting in a sense of community, especially for young families with children and other generations to come.
