Location

The eastern end of this road is in Bunagana, Uganda, at the international border with DRCongo. The road travels in a general north-westerly direction, through the towns of Bunagana, DRCongo and Bugani to end at Rutshuru, a total distance of approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi).[1][3]

Upgrades and reconstruction

Before 2019, the road was gravel surfaced, in various stages of disrepair. In November 2019, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo signed agreements in Entebbe, Uganda, to upgrade this road to bituminous surface, within twenty-four months, after the relevant ministers have agreed on implementation details.[1][2]
