Kayunga–Senge–Kawanda Road Upgrade Progresses as Construction Advances

Construction works on the 6.5-kilometre Kayunga–Senge–Kawanda Road are steadily progressing, with overall physical progress currently standing at 2.81%.
The contractor is undertaking mobilisation, clearing and grubbing, common excavation, and swamp excavation, with swamp works currently at 5% completion.
During a routine site inspection, the District Chairperson, Eng. Ian Kyeyune Sengonzi, directed the contractor to implement a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan to ensure the safety of road users throughout the construction period. He further emphasised the need for timely public communication on diversion routes, the installation of additional barricades particularly around swamp sections and the delivery of the project within the agreed timeframe while meeting and exceeding the required international quality standards.
The District Chairperson also urged the contractor to minimise inconvenience to surrounding communities and maintain high standards of safety at all construction sites.
Motorists are advised to observe speed limits, follow traffic guidance and exercise caution when travelling through active work zones.
Upon completion, the upgraded road is expected to significantly improve connectivity and ease traffic congestion along the Kawempe–Kawanda–Maganjo corridor on the Gulu Highway, enhancing mobility and supporting economic development within the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.
The project is being implemented under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Programme (GKMA-UDP) with funding from the World Bank, Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and the Government of Uganda.
