A section of Thika Road saw motorists stuck in traffic for over 2 hours on Saturday morning.
Some took to Twitter wondering what had caused the snarl up while others warned fellow motorists to avoid the superhighway at all costs.
“What’s happening on Thika road?” one David Sango posed while another Twitter user Bradshaw Maina said: “A SafeBoda ride would really slap right now. Avoid Thika Road at all costs.”
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) had announced that a section of the Thika Superhighway would be closed for 5 days starting August 21.
If you are planning to use Thika road just take a flight its not worth it.
