The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a four-month closure of a section of the Mwingi-Ukasi (A3) Road in Kitui County, a move set to cause major traffic disruptions for motorists.
The closure is meant to allow essential works on the road. Effective from Monday, July 28, 2025, the affected section at 39+400 (Kwa-Vii area) will be fully inaccessible to traffic.
