The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has reopened the Nakuru–Eldoret (A8) Road's Nakuru-bound carriageway after successfully repairing a sinkhole that had forced its closure. Traffic flow has returned to normal near the Eveready Roundabout, and the highway is deemed safe for use.

• The closure, which began on Wednesday evening, caused significant traffic congestion.
• The KeNHA confirmed the restoration of normal traffic flow and assured motorists of safety.
• The authority will continue to monitor the area upstream of the road to ensure ongoing safety for all road users.

Motorists on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway faced severe delays lasting hours due to a significant sinkhole that formed on the Nakuru-bound carriageway at the Eveready Roundabout. The sinkhole led to the closure of the affected section, causing traffic disruptions from Wednesday, September 3, into Thursday morning.

• KeNHA (Kenya National Highways Authority) opened the affected carriageway on Thursday, September 4, after covering the sinkhole.
• The incident sparked debate amid accusations from the Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) that traffic jams are intentionally caused to promote a nationwide tolling policy, a claim dismissed by the Director-General of the PPP Directorate, Eng. Kefa Seda.
• The disruption affected traffic for over 12 hours, spilling from evening into the following morning.

Traffic on the Southern Bypass was severely disrupted on Thursday, September 4, after a lorry overturned and fell onto a private car. The incident caused a major gridlock, leaving motorists stranded for hours.

• The accident occurred as the lorry climbed onto the central reservation of the dual carriageway and rolled over, landing on a private car.
• The traffic jam stretched from Blue House Corner all the way to Karen, with some motorists reporting being stuck for more than two hours.
• There were no confirmed casualties reported immediately, and a response team was on-scene to manage the situation and restore traffic flow.
