Sinkhole on Nakuru Highway and Overturned Lorry on Southern Bypass Cause Major Traffic Disruptions - September 2025

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 disruption began on Wednesday, September 3, and continued into Thursday morning. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) later announced it had successfully repaired the sinkhole and reopened the Nakuru–Eldoret (A8) Road. In a separate incident on Thursday, September 4, traffic on the Southern Bypass was severely disrupted after a lorry overturned and fell onto a private car, causing a major gridlock.
