KeNHA Issues 30-Day Traffic Advisory for Key Highway Section

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a month-long traffic disruption along the Kisumu Boys–Mamboleo section of the A1 Road, citing ongoing construction and improvement works.

In a notice re-shared on Tuesday, August 5, the Authority indicated that the temporary closure will run from Thursday, August 7, to Friday, September 5, 2025.

The project will involve scheduled construction activities aimed at upgrading the road.

KeNHA has advised road users to adhere to the proposed traffic management plan and cooperate with traffic marshals and police officers stationed along the affected stretch.

The Authority further urged the public to exercise caution and patience throughout the construction phase, noting that the improvements are part of broader efforts to enhance road safety and efficiency in the region.
