The Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) has announced the closure of the Kaplong–Kisii Road following severe flooding at the Kipsonoi River Bridge in the Mugeni area on Saturday, March 7.

• The road is impassable and unsafe due to rising water levels overtopping the bridge.
• KeNHA has provided alternative routes for motorists travelling to Chebilat, Keroka, and Kisii.
• This closure occurs amidst widespread heavy rainfall and flooding across the country, which has caused significant destruction and loss of life, including 28 deaths reported in Nairobi alone.
