Traffic has been disrupted along Thika Road at Ndarugo near the entrance to Mang'u High School and the entrance to the highway at Witeithie.
In videos seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the bonfires have been lit at several spots across the highway, affecting motorists from both sides.
Videos show vehicles traversing through the busy highway, weaving through the bonfires as they quickly rush through the burning tyres to avoid contact with the smoky, flaming fires.
The motivations for the protests are still unclear, though reports suggest they were sparked by the alleged abduction and torture of Juja MP George Koimburi. Meanwhile, those responsible for the fires have not been identified, as they were absent from the scene.
