Police say last evening’s heavy traffic jam along Mombasa Road was caused by ongoing construction there.Â
The contractor was raising a beam on the road near Mlolongo and had to close a section of the road which forced a three way road to be scaled down to one.
This caused a heavy traffic jam from City Cabanas area to Mlolongo for hours.
Motorists using a section of Mombasa Road spent almost seven hours at a stretch between City Cabanas and Mlolongo.
Police say a sewerage system burst along Manyanja Road affecting traffic flow on Outer Ring which snaked to Mombasa Road and Jogoo Road.
Some motorists arrived their destinations this morning.
