Overview

This road is an important transport corridor between Kiboga District and Mubende District.[6] The road is prone to flooding, and when it does, it disrupts travel between the two districts and between those two and Mityana District.[6][7][8]

Upgrading to bitumen

The gravel-surfaced road is under the purview of Uganda National Roads Authority.[6] During his 2016 presidential electoral campaigns, President Yoweri Museveni made a pledge to upgrade this road to class II bitumen standard.[9]

gollark: "old great green Swedish" dragon is valid, "Swedish green great old dragon" seems *wrong* somehow.
gollark: Oh, this reminds me, apparently English has some fixed ordering for different kinds of adjectives which native speakers don't notice.
gollark: You can also just use words/grammar differently to other people.
