The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has temporarily closed the Nyaru - Flourspar - Kapkayo - Tenges (B124) road in Rift Valley.

In a statement on Monday May 26, KeNHA Director General Kungu Ndungu said the closure of the road is as a result of massive landslides caused by the ongoing heavy rains in the stretch.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority regrets to announce a temporary closure of Nyaru - Flourspar - Kapkayo - Tenges (B124) road at Kaptoror Village, Turesia Sub-location (13 km from Nyaru).

“The closure has been occasioned by massive landslides caused by the ongoing heavy rains within the area,” read the statement in part.

Ndungu noted that the landslides have heaped soil and debris, blocking a significant section of the road.
