The Myanzi–Kassanda–Bukuya–Kiboga Road is a road in Uganda, connecting the towns of Myanzi, Kassanda and Bukuya in Mubende District, to Kiboga in Kiboga District.

Location[edit]

The road starts at Myanzi, on the Mityana–Mubende Road, about 16.5 kilometres (10 mi) west of Mityana.[1] From there, it takes a northwesterly route to Kassanda, a distance of about 18 kilometres (11 mi).[2] From Kassanda, the road turns northwards to Bukuya, a distance of about 15 kilometres (9 mi).[3] From Bukuya, the road turns northwestwards and continues to Kiboga, a distance of approximately 32.5 kilometres (20 mi).[4] The coordinates of the road near Kassanda are 0°36'53.0"N, 31°50'09.0"E (Latitude:0.614735; Longitude:31.835822).[5]

Overview[edit]

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[edit]

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]
