The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has cautioned motorists using the Nairobi-Narok Highways over potential risk at the Delamere stopover.
In an advisory on Saturday, May 4, KeNHA warned that the Malewa River near the Delamere stopover is nearing overflowing, heightening the danger to road users.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority urges the public to take heed of the potential risk posed by the Malewa River near Delamere Stop Over along the Nairobi - Nakuru Road (A8). The river is nearing the point of overflowing, heightening the danger to road users,” the KeNHA advisory read in part.
KeNHA urged motorists to exercise caution when approaching the Delamare area and to avoid overlapping which may exacerbate traffic congestion in the area.
“The Authority advises motorists to proceed with caution when approaching the area. Should the river overflow, we will temporarily close the road until conditions improve for safe passage,” KeNHA stated.

“KeNHA remains committed to ensure seamless connectivity to facilitate safe passage and uninterrupted connectivity for the transportation of goods and services,” the authority added.
Meanwhile, KeNHA advised members of the public using the Emining-Marigat Road to approach the River Perkerra bridge with caution.
The authority pointed out that the recent floods have caused fallen trees to block the waterway under the bridge resulting in significant silt accumulation on the road surface.
