Due to heavy rains, River Kafu has burst its banks at Karongo Village, Kikonda Parish, 19.8 km from Hoima Town.
This was communicated in a message sent out by the Uganda National Roads Authority.
“River Kafu has burst its banks at Karongo Village, Kikonda Parish, 19.8 km from Hoima Town affecting connectivity and travel from Hoima to Kampala via Kiboga,” reads the message.
The message further reads; “Motorists from Kampala to Hoima are advised to use Hoima – Masindi – Kafu-Luwero – Kampala route or the Hoima – Buhimba – Nalweyo- Kakumiro- Mubende – Kampala route.
“Light vehicles en route from Kampala can opt for the Masode – Ntwetwe -Nkooko – Nalweyo – Hoima road to complete their journey.”
This comes at a time when the Uganda National Roads Authority warned of floods across the road network in the country.
