Ministry of Works diverts heavy traffic after rain-triggered road collapse on Karuma–Kamdini highway

According to a Ministry of Works and Transport statement issued on Sunday, part of the Karuma–Kamdini section of the Gulu highway collapsed about one kilometre from the Karuma–Olwiyo/Pakwach junction, near the URA checkpoint, after embankment failure caused by persistent rain. The Ministry said traffic was restricted to one lane and heavy trucks and trailers were diverted through Olwiyo and Anaka, a detour of about 113 km, while repairs are carried out.
