On Monday morning, angry residents of Kawangware blocked Gitanga road, disrupting traffic to the area and making Amboseli and Hateru roads inaccessible.
Motorists were forced to use alternative routes to access Kawangware and Lavington areas, causing significant delays.
The protests, which lasted over an hour, were sparked by residents' complaints about the poor state of the roads.
Photos and videos shared on social media showed burning tyres and rocks barricading the roads.
Police from Muthangari Police Station were called in to disperse the demonstrators and restore order.
Officers cleared the roads by removing the barricades and directed traffic, which had been stalled for over an hour.
A video shared online highlighted the poor condition of the road, with motorists navigating through muddy patches and an open sewage flowing through the road.
