Kampala, Uganda – The Kampala Fly Over Construction and Road Upgrading Project has been officially handed over to the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), marking a major milestone in the city’s infrastructure development.
The $150m project, which began in 2019, aimed to ease traffic congestion and improve road safety in the Ugandan capital. Engineer-in-Chief Stephen Kitonsa handed over the project’s components to KCCA officials on Wednesday.
At the heart of the project is the 584-metre-long, two-lane Clock Tower Flyover, designed to reduce traffic congestion at one of the city’s busiest intersections. The project also includes the construction of four pedestrian bridges, a 360-metre-long, four-lane underpass at Nsambya, and the upgrading of 2,920 metres of roads.
“The completion of this project is a significant achievement for the city of Kampala and the government of Uganda,” said Kitonsa. “It demonstrates our commitment to improving the lives of our citizens and providing modern infrastructure that supports economic growth and development.”
The project has also included the installation of a modern drainage system, pedestrian safety features, and a water fountain.
Kampala’s rapid urbanisation has put a strain on the city’s infrastructure, with traffic congestion and poor road conditions being major concerns for residents. The completion of the Kampala Fly Over Construction and Road Upgrading Project is expected to alleviate some of these challenges and improve the overall quality of life for the city’s inhabitants.
