Motorists Spend Night Stuck in 10-Hour Traffic Jam Along Nairobi-Mombasa Highway

A late-night trailer collision reportedly left both lanes blocked, disrupting movement along a busy section of the highway.

Motorists spent the night along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway after a heavy traffic buildup following a late-night accident in Kapiti Plains.

Reports indicated that the traffic disruption had been ongoing since 9pm, stretching from Malili to Machakos Junction near Konza.

The congestion was said to have begun after two trailers travelling in opposite directions collided on Thursday evening.

The impact left both lanes blocked, severely restricting movement along the highway.

By Friday morning, motorists were still facing extensive delays across the affected sections.

The Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDDCA) reported that overlapping vehicles had become a major factor worsening the traffic situation.
