Key Sector Beneficiaries:
Mixed Agriculture, agro-industry, dairy farming & ranching,
flower farming, industry/manufacturing, tourism (cultural
heritage resources including archaeological and historical
sites.
Regional Issues :
Main gateway for exports and imports to the port of
Mombasa on the Kenya coast not only for Uganda but
other landlocked Eastern African nations of Rwanda,
Burundi, South Sudan and Eastern DRC (Northern Corridor
and part of Trans-African highway).
Project Rationale and benefits
The road traverses four districts (627,000 pop):
Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and Buikwe and major towns
of Mukono and Lugazi and is part of Northern Corridor
and Trans-African highway. Currently its design capacity
is far exceeded resulting into high travel times, VOCs
and number of accidents.
The construction of the new road to dual carriageway will
divert traffic from the existing road (average diversion for
eastbound and westbound is 55% and 40%, and 56%
and 65% for am and pm flows respectively) thereby
improving mobility within congested Kampala city. Other
benefits include: providing a stimulus to mixed
agricultural production, improving accessibility of
communities not currently connected to the national road
network, and promoting economic regeneration and
access to jobs (11,000 new jobs); better provision and
access to social services, and increase in land value.
Traffic Count (2010): AADT = 51,034 - 20,072 (Kampala Mukono) due to commuter traffic; and 9,742 - 14,459
Lugazi - Jinja
Links with proposed projects:
Planned Industrial Park at Namanve, proposed Kampala
City Airport at Namanve (a Strategic Economic Zone
(SEZ, business park, inland and wet port), and
integration with Southern Bypass, Bukassa Port,
Rehabilitation of existing Kampala-Jinja Road, New Nile
Bridge, Flyover project for Greater Kampala and JinjaMbulamuti Road.
Proposed Financing Mechanism: Private-publicpartnership
Design Status : Feasibility Study and Preliminary Cost
Estimates
Land Needed to be Acquired: Yes
Traffic (2037): AADT = 85,266 - 2,864 (Kampala –
Mukono) due to commuter traffic; and 18,652 - 18,018
Lugazi - Jinja
Proposed Delivery Mechanism : Contractor/Supervising
Engineer
Economic Cost (USD): 658 million
Economic Benefits (USD): 1710 Million
Summary Economic Value : IRR = 26.4 %;NPV = US$
1,051.67 million; NPV/C 1.597; FIRR = 6%
Estimate Construction Period (Years) : 3
Time to start of construction (years): 3
Potential for Private Investment: PPP: financial recovery
plan through tolling
If PPP: Financial recovery plan through tolling: Earnings
Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation
(EBITDA) = USD 3.8-5.6 million (2017-37); Risk
contingency estimated at 14%;
Status of land acquisition: Cost estimate: USD 30.4
million; GOU to pay.

Deliberate efforts will be taken to restore affected sites
to their former beauty according to an Environmental
Management approved by NEMA. Contractor will make
restoration plans prior to works activities. Train and use
village committees to monitor.
Description of Impact
Positive Impact
(Construction)
1
During Construction the Contractor should follow fully the Implementation of the Environmental Management and Monitoring
(EMMP) by developing the following plans to be certified by an Environmentalist (a) Spill Prevention and Counter Measure, (b)
Waste Management, (c) Occupational Health and Safety, (d) HIV/AIDS Prevention and Mitigation, and (e) Erosion and Sediment
Control. The Client should implement fully the Resettlement Action Plan including land and structure compensation and relocation
of utilities - water, electrical, communication according to the law.
On completion of the construction phase of the project, all environmental components disturbed by the project to be restored back to
as near as possible their original state under the supervision of an environmentalist.
Persons/ land/

affected
Severity
of Impact
(H/M/L)
Mitigation Identified
Poor sanitation will lead to
contamination of water
sources and other communal
facilities
Along
alignment
Low
Provision of adequate well-designed sanitation facilities
segregated by gender and training workers to abide by
the sanitation guidelines at camp sites and working
areas
Disruption of works by the
other road users, and
additional construction traffic
will exacerbate the already
high traffic density along the
existing alignment;
Along
alignment
Minor
At junctions where existing access roads cross the new
road under construction or where the road under
construction crosses the existing, the Contract must
provide traffic control plans including alternative
routes/access. Along new alignment the road would be
closed to the public to reduce any disruption.
Land take for road reserve for
new and old alignment, and
ancillary works and borrow
areas & quarries, relocation
markets.
Along
alignment
Moderate
Land acquired will be fully and fairly compensated for in
accordance with RAP and the law. Perennial crops
coffee, banana plantations, fruit trees) and trees that
will be valued and compensated using rates approved
by the District Land Boards.
Poor health due to noise, dust,
explosives during quarrying
activities and possible
accidents at crusher area and
general project area
Along
alignment
Moderate
The Contractor to fulfill a number of measures as par
Occupational Health and Safety Plan and the approved
Safety & Health management plan. Provision and
enforcement of use of personnel protection equipment.
Health of both workers and the
general population would be at
risk of contracting sexually
transmitted diseases and
HIV/AIDS
Area of
Influence
Moderate
A Service Provider specialized in HIV/AIDS
sensitization and prevention programs will be engaged
to run an AIDS testing and counseling programs, and
treat related opportunistic diseases and referral for
further care for both workers and communities.
Sensitize women & girls regarding sexual harassment.
Tampering with or destruction
of cultural and historical
importance
Along
alignment
Moderate
No ancillary works or borrow areas will be located within
2 km from a cultural historic site and if graves are
encountered will be handled according to the cultural
norms in the area. Avoid as much as possible of cultural
sites identified in ESIA.
Increase in transport options
for the community inhabitants
between Kampala and Jinja
and project area of influence;
Area of
Influence
Moderate
Consolidate regulation of transport services especially
with respect to safety and comfort issues. Offer
livelihood skills training specific to transport services.
Decreased travel time and
reduction in vehicle operating
costs.
Along
alignment
Moderate
Consolidate road traffic regulation and enforcement,
and enhance economic regulation of transport for hire.
Give highest priority to maintenance.
Improved access to socioeconomic and administrative
services
Area of
Influence
Moderate
Enhance quality and capacity of services to meet
demand.
Planting of trees will enhance
the beautification of the areas
along the road providing a
natural buffer between road
and adjoining land.
Along
alignment
Minor
Encourage controlled planting of fruit and timber trees
in the road reserve and adjacent land. It is the MoWT
policy that trees should be planted along the road
reserve to improve aesthetics as well as mark the road
reserve boundaries. Trees should be maintained in line
with the maintenance plan UNRA has put in place
Along
alignment
High
Barriers should be constructed especially along busy
areas to discourage people from joining
the road at any point they may wish. Such a barrier
should be high enough to discourage any individual
from climbing over. Distribute the Highway Code to
schools and communities and sensitise them on safe
road use behaviour
