Businesses along Outering Road that is under construction are counting losses. Right at their doorsteps are deep trenches. The road construction work also leaves behind a heavy cloud of dust, which has been keeping clients away. Those with cars have no parking spaces. In fact to access some of the premises, one must be ready for some serious jumping exercises. It is a risky venture.

Most businesses are on the right side as you go towards Donholm while on the left side are estates like Avenue Park, Tumaini and Pipeline, among others. The most affected are hotels like Chariton, Aga Khan Hospital, Bliss, Jacmil and Tumaini supermarkets, cereal shops, petrol stations like Kobil and Shell and even rental houses.
