KeNHA announces three-month closure of Mayoni-Bungoma Road section
KeNHA will close a section of the Mayoni-Bungoma Road from October 16 to January 15 to allow construction of a box culvert, with motorists required to use designated diversions.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has declared that a stretch of the Mayoni-Bungoma Road will be closed for three months, from October 16, 2026, to January 15, 2027. The closure is due to construction works on a box culvert at kilometre 2.1 of the B139 road. This disruption is expected to impact motorists traveling between Mayoni and Bungoma, who may need to adapt their routes to accommodate the designated diversions.
The authority has issued four diversion routes to assist drivers in navigating the temporary detours. KeNHA has urged road users to adhere to the traffic management plan and cooperate with police officers and traffic marshals who will be directing traffic in the affected area. Normal traffic operations are anticipated to resume once the construction is completed on January 15, 2027.
