Water Cuts off Katonga along Kampala- Masaka road.

Information on the ground is that River Katonga has burst it's banks and so far, it is only big vehicles which can cross. It began in the morning at around 0300 am. I understand that the OC station  Kayabwe Asp Namara Justus is heading to the scene to find ways of diversion as UNRA is informed on the same.

Meanwhile Uganda National Roads Authority UNRA  says, "Our teams are assessing the situation and exploring possible interventions & diversion routes.

For now, we STRONGLY advise road users to exercise extreme caution when approaching this section."

Travellers from Kampala are encouraged to utilize the Mpigi-Butambala-Ssembabule road as a viable alternative.
While individuals travelling from Masaka are advised to take the Masaka-Ssembabule Road as a diversion.
