The project, a credit from the African Development Bank (AfDB) is for the reconstructing and or upgrading of approximately 67km of roads with Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) tracks and associated on-street and off-street parking areas and a number of signalised junctions. The Government of the Republic of Uganda represented by Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) identified the need for the reconstruction, widening and upgrading from gravel to bitumen standard some selected City roads as well as improvement of junctions to improve the current mobility situation in Kampala in order to achieve sustainable economic development.
