Transport was last week paralysed for motorists plying the Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara highway after a section of the road at Lwera swamp collapsed.
The highway had traffic gridlock stretching more than 20 kilometres between Lukaya Town in Kalungu District and Nabyewanga Town in Mpigi.
The road collapsed after culverts that were used to fix it broke down.
The Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) declared it impassable and diverted motorists to the Mpigi-Kanoni- Sembabule–Villa Maria-Masaka road.
