Elsewhere, several travelers were yesterday stranded on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway owing to a traffic build-up between Gilgil town and the rail over road bridge.

The Authority had on Friday issued a warning of possible traffic snarl-ups on major highways.

"KeNHA wishes to notify motorists plying or planning to use the Nairobi - Nakuru (A8) Highway of a traffic buildup between Gilgil town and the rail over road bridge as people travel for the festive season," the regulator said.

Kenyans took to social media at the weekend to share their plight of being stuck on the road for hours, as many head upcountry for Christmas festivities.
