KeNHA blocks the Nairobi-Garissa Road owing to flooding.

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has declared the closure of the Nairobi-Garissa Road due to floods in the Mororo area between Madogo and Tana River Bridge. 

The flooding, according to the authority, is the result of continuing rains, which have caused rising water levels in the Tana River.

"The increased water has prompted an advisory that the Seven Folks Dams are rapidly filling to near full capacity," the agency said in a statement. 

The flooding in Mororo has undermined one lane of the road, posing a significant safety risk to motorists.

"This Road, therefore, shall remain closed until the flood waters subside and the damaged section is reinstated," according to the government.
