Police Reveal Cause Of Mombasa Road Jam

Written By Henry Kimoli

Police say last evening’s heavy traffic jam along Mombasa Road was caused by ongoing construction there. 

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.
