The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has warned motorists to keep off Kainuk Bridge.

The roads agency said the bridge has been damaged, therefore, unsafe for all members of the public.

In a statement on Monday, KeNHA said the embarkment walls of the bridge have been destroyed.

"Initially, only one side had been affected and traffic was able to pass using one side of the bridge since yesterday."

"KeNHA advises all motorists to be patient as an urgent solution is being implemented to address the situation," the statement read.

The bridge serves as a crucial link between Marich Pass and Lokichar, along the Kitale - Lodwar - Nadapal Road.
