The road starts at Ntungamo, on the Mbarara–Ntungamo–Kabale–Katuna Road. It takes a northwesterly direction, though the towns of Kagamba, Rwashamaire, and Nyakibale, to end at Rukungiri, the district headquarters of Rukungiri District, a total of approximately 52 kilometres (32 mi). 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).
Upgrading to bitumen
Prior to 2004, the road was gravel surfaced and in a poor state. In that year, the government of Uganda upgraded the road to grade II bitumen surface with shoulders, drainage channels, and culverts.
