The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has closed the Mai Mahiu – Narok Road.
The authority says the decision was taken following the sudden siltation, coupled with heavy debris deposited on a section stretching over a kilometre on Monday, April 29 evening at Suswa area.
Suswa is about 27 kilometres from Mai Mahiu town towards Narok town.
KeNHA says its contractor is currently on site clearing the siltation.
“This exercise will extend overnight. The closure will allow smooth clearance of the siltation and avoid incidents of vehicles getting stuck among other possible dangers,” KeNHA says.
KeNHA is advising motorists plying the route to use alternative routes including the main Nairobi – Nakuru Highway.
