For those taking the Western Route (Kampala to Western Uganda) - Use Nakawuka – Kasanje - Mpigi route to bypass traffic congestion. - Alternatively, use Buloba and connect to Mpigi.

 Eastern Route (Kampala to Eastern Uganda) - Use Wantoni in Mukono to Kisoga through Nyenga to connect to Jinja. Avoid using the main route due to ongoing construction if possible.
