The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a traffic disruption along the Kitale–Morpus highway after floods cut off a section of the route.
In a traffic advisory on Sunday, March 22, KeNHA said the Chapareria–Morpus section, located one kilometre from Morpus, has been affected, rendering it impassable.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the public that the Chapareria – Morpus section, approximately 1 km from Morpus along the Kitale – Morpus Road, has been cut off, rendering traffic flow between the Chapareria and Sebit sections towards Lodwar unsafe for motorable traffic,” KeNHA stated.
The authority advised motorists to exercise caution and strictly adhere to instructions issued by police officers and traffic marshals on site to ensure their safety.
KeNHA directed drivers travelling from Lodwar to use the Marich Pass–Nakuru route as an alternative while restoration works continue.
“Motorists plying the route from Lodwar are advised to use the Marich Pass – Nakuru route as an alternative,” the authority said.
Further, KeNHA noted that efforts are underway to restore passage along the damaged section
