This comes just months after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced the temporary closure of a section of the Madogo–Bura–Hola Road after heavy floods cut off the route at Duka Notu.
In a public notice dated October 30, KeNHA said traffic flow along the busy highway remains disrupted and warned motorists to exercise caution when crossing flowing waters.
The agency cited flooding as the main cause of the road damage, which has rendered the affected section impassable.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to notify the public that traffic flow along Madogo–Bura–Hola (B89) Road still remains closed, having been cut by floods at Duka Notu,” the notice stated.
