The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced the reopening of the Iten-Kabarnet Road days after traffic was disrupted by a landslide.

In a statement on Tuesday, May 5, KeNHA confirmed that normal traffic flow has since resumed on the busy road.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify motorists and the public that traffic flow along the Iten – Kabarnet Road near Kolol has been restored,” the statement read.

KeNHA explained that the closure had been caused by adverse weather conditions that have continued to affect several parts of the country.

“This follows earlier disruption caused by a landslide resulting from ongoing heavy rainfall across the country, which had blocked the affected road section,” the statement added.

KeNHA also urged drivers using the route to remain vigilant as conditions continue to stabilise.

“Motorists are advised to continue exercising caution and to strictly adhere to instructions issued by police officers and traffic marshals on site to ensure their safety as conditions stabilize,” the statement further read.
