Nairobi motorists warned over flooding along Mombasa road

Nairobi motorists have been cautioned to avoid Uhuru Highway due to heavy flooding witnessed since the wee hours of the morning.

The flooding is the aftermath of a heavy downpour experienced in many parts of the country on Friday night.

In a video that surfaced across social media on Saturday morning, vehicles were seen almost fully submerged by the massively flooded waterways towards the capital’s Central Business Department (CBD).Mombasa Road

Here are some of the reactions by the Kenyans on Twitter.

"BWM folks please avoid Uhuru Highway… ama budget ya December itakuwa ya repairs. "

It's all about proper drainage. There's no connection to concrete being everywhere.

"These Chinese engineers are rubbish, they built Thika road without drainage now Waiyaki way? Argh!"

"Goodbye ball joints etc. Mechanics will be busy this December."

"Mvua kidogo na barabara zote zimegeuka bahari."

"Gari haiezi drown, mnaogopa nini? Except VWs and BMWs. Hydrophobic hizo."

"Kama airitake yako iko below that waterlevel usijaribu kupitia hapo... otherwise slim lazima utanunua."

"The disaster that comes with the expressway. This is going to be messy."

"Why don't you have a ferry on standby for a day like today?"
