The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has closed the Mai Mahiu – Narok road temporarily after a severe crack caused by flash floods occurred.

As a result, KeNHA is urging motorists to explore alternative routes as they are unsafe for motorists.

The road users were advised to use the Narok-Kisiriri-Mau Summit -Njoro turn-off (B18) Road to join Nakuru alternative routes and other destinations or Narok-Bomet-Kaplong(B6) Road and connect to Kaplong-Kericho(B7) Road as the alternative routes.

“The cause of the crack has not been established, though preliminary report attributes it to the ongoing rains. Further, the area has in the past been affected by similar earth movements.”

Further, the Authority has stated that efforts are being made to repair the damaged portion of the road.

“Heavy rains in the catchment areas of Kinale and Kijabe have led water courses to experience an upsurge which has led to the washing away of debris and several houses,” KeNHA mentioned earlier.
