The Ntungamo–Rukungiri Road in the Western Region of Uganda connects the town of Ntungamo in Ntungamo District with Rukungiri in Rukungiri District.
The road starts at Ntungamo, on the Mbarara–Ntungamo–Kabale–Katuna Road. It takes a northwesterly direction, though the towns of Kagamba, Rwashamaire,[1] and Nyakibale, to end at Rukungiri, the district headquarters of Rukungiri District, a total of approximately 52km (32miles).[2] The coordinates of the road, about equidistant from Kagamba and Rukungiri, are 0°49'57.0"S, 30°02'25.0"E (Latitude:-0.832499; Longitude:30.040267).
Prior to 2004, the road was gravel surfaced and in a poor state.[3] In that year, the government of Uganda upgraded the road to grade II bitumen surface with shoulders, drainage channels, and culverts.[4]
