TOP NEWS: Here Are The Six Crucial Road Projects Set to Begin Soon by Works Ministry

What the report says

Uganda’s Ministry of Works and Transport has started a technical review of six major road projects, a step that could lead to design approval and procurement, according to Watchdog Uganda. The projects named in the report are the Kigo Interchange, Kigungu Airport Ring Road, Kafu Bridge, Kampala–Jinja Expressway, Bombo–Ndejje–Kalasa Road, and Mubende–Kyenjojo Road.

The article says the projects cover both urban traffic relief and larger transport corridors. Kigo Interchange is intended to ease congestion at the southern entrance to Kampala by improving links with the Entebbe Expressway and city flyovers. The Kigungu Airport Ring Road would support access around Entebbe International Airport, while the Kafu Bridge is presented as an important crossing on the Hoima–Kampala highway that needs stronger flood resilience.

Watchdog Uganda also reports that the Kampala–Jinja Expressway remains the biggest of the planned works, with the publication citing a 95-kilometer route and a public-private partnership structure. The Bombo–Ndejje–Kalasa Road and Mubende–Kyenjojo Road are described as regional connectors that could improve local trade, safety, tourism, and access to services. The ministry’s move matters because it signals progress on long-discussed infrastructure upgrades that are tied to traffic management, trade, and broader economic development. More generally, road project reviews like this are a standard part of moving infrastructure from planning toward construction.
