The Uganda national roads authority(UNRA) has diverted road users on Kampala-Masaka Highway and advised them to use the Mpigi-Kanoni-Sembabule-Villa Maria-Masaka road as an alternative route to avoid the Lwera bridge that broke down on Wednesday.
According to the statement from UNRA, their team is urgently responding to the failed and slippery section at Lwera.
However, Motorists traveling for the Easter holiday have since been stuck in heavy traffic after the road section in the Lwera wetland collapsed between Mpigi and Kalungu districts.
The road collapsed Wednesday following a culvert failure at Lwera.
