The Thogoto-Mutarakwa Road, the only alternative route for truckers from Mai Mahiu heading to Mombasa via the Southern Bypass, has also been heavily affected.
Motorists heading to Ndeiya and Thogoto have been stuck at Mutarakwa, with matatus forced to drop passengers at the junction as the road has become impassable.
Chaos
A spot check by The Standard revealed that frustrated motorists have created up to four lanes on the two-lane road, further worsening the gridlock. Without alternative routes to Nakuru, the traffic situation remains dire, leaving commuters stranded with no clear resolution in sight.
Authorities have yet to provide a timeline for clearing the jam, as the rains continue to complicate efforts to restore normalcy.
