The Motorist Association has warned Kenyan drivers of a potential traffic disruption along the Nairobi-Mai Mahiu Road. The advisory comes as transporters move a wide load that will occupy the full width of the road, making it impassable for oncoming vehicles.
According to the association, the disruption will lead to a total lane closure, with no room left for motorists to manoeuvre past the load.
Drivers have been urged to seek alternative routes to avoid being caught in the congestion. "Please be informed that there is a total lane closure along the Nairobi-Mai Mahiu Road due to a wide load occupying the full width of the road, leaving no room for oncoming vehicles to pass," the association said in a statement.
