Transport paralysed on Mtwapa-Kilifi Road after floods cut off Mbogolo bridge

Raging flood waters have severed the Mbogolo Bridge situated on the Mtwapa - Kilifi Road, thereby disrupting traffic flow to and from Mombasa.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) advised motorists to use the Mombasa-Mazeras-Kaloleni-Mavueni-Kilifi road as an alternative route.

"Currently, a new bridge is being constructed in this area as part of the Kwa Kadzengo-Kilifi Road Project. KeNHA staff are on site to help restore traffic passage through the affected road section," the State agency said in the statement.  

KeNHA further asked motorists to show restraint as efforts to reinstate the normal flow of traffic on the road are underway.
