The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced the indefinite closure of a key road in the Rift Valley region, citing safety concerns.
In an alert issued on the evening of Sunday, May 25, the authority announced the closure of the Nyaru-Fluorspar-Kapkayo-Tenges (B124) road, which had a worrying structural fault along the stretch.
According to KeNHA, the decision to close the road came in response to the formation of a longitudinal crack at Kaptoror Village, which is located approximately 13 kilometres from Nyaru.
The closure is a precautionary measure, particularly because of the ongoing rains, which increase the risk of more ground movement, which can lead to a collapse.
