The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a temporary closure of the Njoro–Mau Summit (B129) Road to allow for pavement reconstruction works.
According KeNHA, the road will be closed from Thursday, October 16, 2025, to Thursday, November 6, 2025.
The closure point is located about 1 kilometer past the Keringet Factory and 2 kilometers before Molo Town.
During this period, a diversion route has been identified for use.
However, KeNHA has cautioned that due to a sharp restricted curve along the diversion, lorries and long trucks will not be allowed to use it.
“A diversion has been identified for use during this period. However, due to a sharp restricted curve, lorries and long trucks will not be allowed to use it,” the authority said.
Motorists traveling to Molo and Mau Summit have been advised to use the Nakuru–Mau Summit (A8) Road via Kibunja Junction.
KeNHA has urged all road users to follow the proposed traffic management plan to ensure safety during the roadworks.
This is the latest closure announcement after the authority, through its Acting Director General Luka Kimeli, announced the temporary closure of the busy Rironi/Kamandura Interchange in Limuru to allow for reconstruction works.
The closure affected the junction linking A8 (Waiyaki Way), Limuru Road, and A8 South (Mai Mahiu Road), lasting slightly over month, from August 22, 2025, until October 31, 2025.
The roadworks involved the reconstruction of the entire interchange, including slip roads, loops, and approach roads.
The project was part of the ongoing upgrade of the Nairobi–Nakuru–Mai Mahiu highway corridor to improve traffic flow and safety.
