The road starts at Wandegeya in the Kawempe Division of Kampala, Uganda's capital city. It continues north through Bwaise, Kawempe, and Matugga to end at Bombo, in Luweero District, a distance of approximately 32km (20miles).[2] The approximate coordinates of the road, near the town of Matugga are 0°28'28.0"N, 32°31'06.0"E (Latitude:0.474440; Longitude:32.518338).

Overview

The government of Uganda plans to widen the current bitumen-surfaced road to a four-lane dual carriage highway, as part of efforts to decongest Kampala.[3] It is planned to fund the road construction under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement.[1]

Construction costs

As at February 2016, the construction budget for the highway has not been developed, pending finalization of road design.[4] [5]
