National Road No. 2 is an 863-km road in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. It runs from the eastern city of
Goma, which lies on the northern shore of
Lake Kivu across the border from the
Rwandan city of
Gisenyi, around the western shore of Lake Kivu via Katana towards
Bukavu. At Kavumu there is a junction with the southern spur to Bukavu, but National Road 2 turns north-west and runs 400 km to Lubutu and then 240 km to the river port of
Kisangani, which is the farthest navigable point on the
Congo River from the capital
Kinshasa. Riverboats and small ships link Kisangani to
Kinshasa.
