Thousands of travelers have been stranded for nearly two days on the Nairobi–Nakuru and Nairobi–Narok highways due to severe traffic gridlock. The congestion has significantly disrupted travel, especially as school reopens for many children.

• Affected routes: Nairobi–Nakuru and Nairobi–Narok highways, particularly sections around Gilgil, Naivasha, and Kijabe.
• Key organizations affected/involved: Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDCA), Tahmeed Bus, ENA Coach, and the Motorists Association.
• Main causes cited: Motorist indiscipline (overlapping), inadequate police deployment, delays at weighbridges for heavy commercial trucks, and recent rainy weather conditions.
• Calls for action: Motorists and associations are urging the government to urgently fast-track expansion and dualling plans for the highway, with one frustrated road user spending 10 hours to drive from Gilgil to Nairobi.
