Nairobi Road was a major road in the Republic of Kenya, Earth that connected the costal megacity of Mombasa to the city of Nairobi in the highlands.
Route description[edit]
Nairobi Road begins in New Mombasa, where it leaves Mombasa Island en route to Nairobi. As the road traversed the urban sprawl of Old Mombasa, it intersected a MagLev line, marked by a train station of the same name.[1] Transitioning from the city's outermost fringes to dry plains and savannahs, Nairobi Road eventually reached the industrial port city of Voi. It intersected Tsavo Highway, which ran from Voi to Arusha, Tanzania.[2] Nairobi Road passed through the actual town of Tsavo soon after, and a few hundred kilometres after that the road reaches its final destination of Nairobi.
A railway ran roughly parallel to Nairobi Road between Mombasa and Nairobi.[3][4]
History[edit]
The train to Nairobi was used as an escape route by refugees from Mombasa during the Battle of Mombasa in late October 2552.[5] Soon after, the section of Nairobi Road between Mombasa and Voi would be glassed by the Covenant to uncover the Portal at Voi, a Forerunner slipspace portal generator buried underneath the savannah over one hundred thousand years earlier.
