The Kampala Capital City Authority has begun another phase of road rehabilitation under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Programme, with construction expected to continue for the next 16 months.
The latest works are aimed at improving road infrastructure, easing movement across the capital and strengthening the city’s transport network to meet increasing demand.
According to KCCA, the project will cover several key roads, including Old Kireka Road, Lance Road, Kireka Link, Bombo Road II from Wandegeya to Bwaise, Yusuf Lule Road, Gaddafi Road and Bukoto Street.
City officials said the upgrades are expected to improve connectivity between neighborhoods, reduce travel challenges and support the efficient movement of people and goods once completed.
While announcing the project, KCCA cautioned that motorists and pedestrians should expect temporary disruptions during construction.
The authority said road users are likely to experience longer travel times and intermittent traffic interruptions as work progresses along the affected corridors.
To reduce inconvenience, KCCA urged the public to plan journeys in advance, use alternative routes where possible and follow directions issued by Traffic Police officers and road marshals.
Diversion routes will be clearly marked throughout the construction period to help maintain traffic flow and guide motorists safely around work zones.
The authority also appealed to road users to observe all traffic management measures and cooperate with officials deployed at the sites to ensure safety for both workers and the public.
The rehabilitation forms part of the broader Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Programme, a government initiative focused on modernizing transport infrastructure across Kampala and surrounding urban centers.
In recent years, the program has supported the reconstruction of several roads in the capital, with projects designed to improve drainage, ease congestion and increase accessibility for residents and businesses.
KCCA said the ongoing investments are intended to create a safer and more reliable road network that can better support Kampala’s growing population and economic activity.
“We appreciate your patience as we work to deliver a safer, more efficient road network for the City,” the authority said.
Officials have urged residents to remain patient throughout the construction period, saying the temporary inconvenience will result in long-term improvements to mobility and urban transport across the city.
