Karongi-Nyamasheke Road to be Paved

{{Construction of the Karongi-Nyamasheke road is underway. This is expected to cutdown on the inconviniences that have been caused by the potholes that made the road impassable by motorists for fear of damaging their vehicles.}}

The road will be paved and will easily connect Karongi district to Rusizi and Nyamasheke districts. Previously travellers had to go through Muhanga, Ruhango, Nyanza, Huye and Nyamagabe to connect to Rusizi and Nyamasheke districts.

Dr Nzahabwanimana Alexis an official from the minsitry of Infrastructure said the contractor began conducting its survey on the road since the begining of July 2013. Construction is expected to start August 2,1 2013.

Construction of the road will be completed in a period of 30months if all goes according to plan.

Kayumba Bernard, the Mayor of Karongi district earlier said the road would improve trade between the districts and also crossborder trade between DR-Congo and Rwanda.
