Kibaki will Friday officially inaugurate the Eastern and Northern by-passes at the junction of Kangundo and Ruai roads.
The Kshs 8.5 billion by-passes are expected to greatly help in the reduction of traffic jams in the city.
During the occasion the President is also expected to outline other measures the government is taking to deal with the management of traffic in Nairobi, including the missing link roads.
During his last visit to Beijing, President Kibaki secured funding for the by-passes from the Government of the Peoples' Republic of China.
The by-passes are part of the government's ambitious infrastructure development programme aimed at making Kenya the regional economic hub.
Last week the Head of State inaugurated the Maji-ya-Chumvi-Miritini road, a key section of the critical Northern Corridor.
The President is expected at Embakasi at 11.00 a.m.
On arrival the President will be received by the Minister for Roads Hon Franklin Bett and other senior Government officials.
On Saturday President Kibaki will lead the nation in marking the 31st Anniversary of the death of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
