The Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP) is transforming the city’s infrastructure, with numerous roads undergoing significant upgrades. This ambitious initiative, spearheaded by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), aims to revamp 100 kilometers of roads, aligning with the government’s 2021-2026 National Resistance Movement (NRM) manifesto.
KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka recently embarked on a comprehensive inspection tour, assessing the progress of various road rehabilitation projects. Her first stop was the Kayemba Road redevelopment project, a critical link between Katwe Ring Road and Mubutu Road. “The rehabilitation of Kayemba Road will significantly alleviate traffic congestion, enhancing connectivity and facilitating smoother travel for residents,” Kisaka noted.

The project’s scope extends beyond road rehabilitation, encompassing the refurbishment of 22 traffic junctions, creation of 123 kilometers of non-motorized transport facilities, and establishment of parking spaces, bus depots, public toilets, and markets for women vendors. Energy-efficient streetlights and urban beautification initiatives are also integral to the project.
Despite encountering challenges such as pandemic-related delays and utility relocation complexities, Kisaka expressed confidence in the project’s timely completion. “We have addressed these issues and are committed to delivering high-quality projects that will transform Kampala’s transportation network and enhance the city’s economic development and quality of life,” she assured.
As the KCRRP continues to gain momentum, Kampala residents eagerly anticipate the transformative impact on their daily lives. “The progress we’ve made so far is a testament to our commitment to improving Kampala’s infrastructure and connectivity,” Kisaka emphasized. “We appreciate the dedication of our contractors and the patience of our residents as we work towards a better city.”
