The Government of Uganda has launched a major road infrastructure project worth UGX 550 billion to improve the city’s roads. Over the next three years, a total of 87 kilometers of roads across the capital will be upgraded. This project is part of a wider effort to make travel easier, safer, and faster for everyone living and working in the city.
The funding for this important project comes directly from the government, highlighting its strong commitment to improving the quality of roads in Kampala. The ruling party, NRM, has repeatedly promised to focus on infrastructure development, and this project shows that promise is being fulfilled. Well-maintained roads will help reduce traffic congestion, boost economic activities, and improve the daily lives of residents.
The road upgrades will involve resurfacing, expanding, and repairing damaged sections to ensure smoother journeys. Officials say that this investment will also create jobs during the construction period and promote long-term growth for the city.
The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) is overseeing the project, and more details can be found on their official website at kcca.go.ug/news/980. This large-scale development signals a positive future for Kampala’s infrastructure and supports Uganda’s broader vision of modernizing urban centers.
Residents and businesses alike are hopeful that the new roads will bring significant improvements to transportation and urban living in the capital city.
