  "summary": "KeNHA has announced a three-month closure of a section of the Mayoni-Bungoma Road (B139) starting from October 16, 2026, to January 15, 2027. The closure is necessary for the construction of a box culvert, and motorists are required to use alternative routes. KeNHA has outlined four diversions for affected motorists, directing them through areas such as Mumias Sugar Company, Shakula shopping centre, FRI, and Matungu. The closure affects the Km 2+100 section of the road, which serves communities in the western Kenya sugar belt, connecting Mayoni, Mumias, and Bungoma. Motorists are advised to follow the marked diversions and cooperate with police officers and traffic marshals deployed at the site.",
