The situation had been assessed and changes proposed to avert similar occurrences in the future, Transport Principal Secretary Irungu Nyakera said in a statement. A section of a protection slope at Kambu area was washed away when heavy rains pounded the area on Friday night last week. The flood relief culvert was blocked by sand, boulders and debris gathered form water that was channelled to the site, Mr Nyakera explained. But even with the damage, Mr Nyakera said, all was looking up for the SGR. He said that the SGR contractor, China Road and Bridge Corporation and a supervisory team had been on the ground since the incident to ensure timely restoration.
