These include Langata Road-Langata South Road-Kiboko Road-Banda Lane-Magadi Road, and various connecting roads such as Langata Road-Langata South Road-Kiboko Road-Mukoma Road-Magadi Road (near Shell Petrol Station).

The authority has advised motorists to follow traffic diversion plans, observe project road signs, and cooperate with police and traffic marshals deployed along the route to ensure smooth traffic flow during the construction period.

In another notice, KeNHA advised motorists plying the Marigat-Loruk road of a complete closure effective August 21, 2025.

A section of the Marigat-Loruk Road.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority regrets to inform the public of the closure of Marigat - Loruk (B17) Road between Km 29+800 and Km 40+000,” the notice read in part. “This is due to road flooding caused by the fast-rising water levels of Lake Baringo.”

The flooding has rendered this section of the road impassable, forcing the authority to close it temporarily for safety reasons.

"The available alternative route has been graded as a diversion at Km 29+200 on Marigat-Loruk (B17) Road, which will intersect Loruk-Chemalingot at Km 2+400."

KeNHA has cautioned road users against attempting to use the flooded section in the interest of their safety. The authority continues to monitor the water levels and will advise when normal traffic flow can resume.

The road closure comes as the region experiences heavy rains that have caused Lake Baringo's water levels to rise significantly, affecting transportation and economic activities in the area.
