NAROK COUNTY, KENYA — The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued an urgent traffic advisory following the complete collapse of the Mogor Bridge along the Kilgoris-Lolgorian (B3) Road in Trans Mara, Narok County. The bridge was severely damaged by heavy flash floods triggered by intense overnight rainfall, cutting off a vital transport link between Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South.
🌊 Extent of Damage
According to KeNHA’s official statement, the damage is extensive:
“The approaches to the bridge have been washed away, rendering the structure impassable and cutting off direct connectivity between Trans Mara West and South.”
The incident occurred at approximately Km 21 along the B3 Road, where the bridge structure could not withstand the force of flash floods caused by overnight downpours in the region.
