Kisozi–Kitemu–Naggalabi Road Works Progressing Steadily

Construction works on the 6.5-kilometre Kisozi–Kitemu–Naggalabi Spur Road in Kyengera Town Council, are progressing steadily following our site inspection and coordination meeting involving contractors, consultants, and district officials.
The project, implemented by China Railway Seventh Group Company Limited, has attained 31.7 percent physical progress against a planned 33.4 percent. The slight variance is largely attributed to election-related public holidays, which caused minor schedule adjustments.
Earthworks are largely complete, precasting works are advancing ahead of schedule, and culvert installation is ongoing across various sections of the corridor. In selected areas, progress has been moderated to facilitate the preservation of two culturally significant trees and to resolve minor right-of-way challenges. This approach underscores the project’s commitment to balancing infrastructure development with respect for community heritage and environmental considerations.
With payments expected in the coming week to further accelerate implementation, the project remains on course for completion ahead of October 2026.
Funded by the World Bank in partnership with the Government of Uganda, the road project will deliver a paved carriageway, improved drainage systems, pedestrian walkways, and street lighting. Upon completion, it is expected to significantly enhance connectivity, road safety, and mobility within the District.

This milestone was confirmed during a routine site inspection conducted by the District Engineer, Eng. Godfrey Ndiwalana; Head of Consultants, Simon Peter Odoch; and the representative of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Mr. Archilles Kiwanuka, who serves as the district focal person for the project.

The contractor, Chongqing International Construction Corporation (CICO), has commended residents and stakeholders for their strong cooperation, noting over 90 percent compliance. This collaboration has played a key role in maintaining a smooth and safe working environment.
Looking ahead, at least five kilometres of the road are expected to be tarmacked by June 2026, marking a significant step toward improving connectivity, boosting local trade, and enhancing service delivery across the district.
The February 2026 Environmental, Social, Health and Safety (ESHS) report shows improvements in stakeholder engagement and safety induction compliance. However, district officials continue to emphasize the importance of strengthening statutory documentation, grievance management systems, and worker welfare safeguards to ensure full compliance with national and international standards.
The District leadership appreciates the continued patience and cooperation of the community as works progress and remains committed to delivering a high-quality road that will benefit residents, businesses, and institutions across Wakiso.
