Road cut between Kavimvira and Mulongwe after heavy rain
On 17 October 2026, heavy rain caused runoff water to overflow onto the diversion built under the new bridge over the Kavimvira river. The abutment of the old railway bridge tilted and traffic was cut off between Kavimvira and Mulongwe: bajaj, taxis, buses and motorbikes could no longer get through, and only pedestrians could cross.

Original text
Le 17 octobre 2026, une forte pluie a fait déborder les eaux de ruissellement sur la déviation aménagée sous le nouveau pont de la rivière Kavimvira. La culée de l’ancien pont ferroviaire s’est inclinée et la circulation a été coupée entre Kavimvira et Mulongwe : bajaj, taxis, bus et motos ne passaient plus, seuls les piétons pouvaient traverser.
