Roadworks

The roadworks on the main road into the centre of Kigali continue apace - an ambitious road widening scheme which managed to bring Kigali traffic to a standstill on many occasions







Our 12-15 min drive to the embassy could take upwards of an hour in the five lane traffic, and saw us taking a 10km detour to get to the same turn off which is just 1.5km down the hill!




the seemingly sudden decision to re-do this main road at the same time has had suspicious minds pointing out that the elections are coming up - it's a more mundane reason than that - it has only rained once in the past three weeks....
