Major roads leading to the Central Business District (CBD) in Nairobi on Monday morning experienced a heavy traffic snarl-up following heavy rains that began last night.

True to its nature, the morning rush to commute to work has been heavily affected, with reports of some roads flooding, adding to the already chaotic mayhem.

Major roads like Thika Superhighway, starting at KCA University, are experiencing slow traffic as the vehicles serving several commuters from the region build up towards the City.

On Waiyaki Way, commuters heading towards Westlands will have to contend with more than just the rainfall.
