The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced seven alternative routes to alleviate severe traffic congestion on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway and Rironi-Mai Mahiu-Naivasha road, urging motorists to exercise caution and lane discipline amidst the ongoing gridlock.

• The traffic surge is attributed to elements including minor accidents, road maintenance, poor lane discipline, and increased vehicle volume, particularly peaking during the festive season.
• KeNHA is collaborating with the National Police Service (NPS) to manage traffic flow along affected routes.
• The authority noted "a surge in traffic volumes" along the Rironi-Nakuru-Mau Summit (A8) Road and the Rironi-Mai Mahiu-Naivasha (A8 South) Road on Wednesday, December 24.
