The latest comes hours after KeNHA issued an update informing motorists that the bridge linking Kitengela to Mombasa Road along Namanga Road had flooded.
“Athi River flooded early this morning and the bridge linking Kitengela to Mombasa Road along Namanga Road is impassible. Take an alternate route by diverting through the East African Portland Cement junction via Athi River to Devki," KeNHA said.
The authority advised motorists to be cautious and avoid overtaking and unnecessary lane changes.
“Avoid unnecessary lane changes and overtaking. Your safety is our top priority. Drive safely,” KeNHA added.
The raging floods occasioned by continued rains have wreaked havoc across different parts of the country, so dire is the situation that leaders including President William Ruto have come forward with various measures to help mitigate the crisis which has seen the loss of lives, and destruction of property and infrastructure.
