Upgrading to bitumen

In December 2010, the European Union extended a grant of USh325 billion (approximately €116 million at that time), to improve the 125 kilometres (78 mi), stretch of the East African Northern Corridor, between Mbarara and Katuna. The road was divided into two sections: (a) Mbarara-Ntungamo Section, was budgeted at UShs154 billion (€51 million) and (b) Ntungamo-Katuna Section was budgeted at UShs198.26 billion (€65 million). The Ugandan government was budgeted to contribute 8 percent of the grant value (approximately €9.28 million). The construction contract was awarded to Reynolds Construction Company of Switzerland, the lowest bidder. The work was designated in December 2011. Road works involve widening the roadway to 11 metres (36 ft). As of August 2016, Uganda National Roads Authority listed the road as an ongoing project. By May 2018, the last section of this road was reported as completed.
