The 66km Lira–Kamdini section is now fully paved, marked and motorable, eliminating the previous travel bottlenecks, the Works Ministry revealed in a social media post.

A key regional trade corridor, the route supports connectivity between Uganda, South Sudan, plus the Democratic Republic of Congo, linking them to the Port of Mombasa in Kenya.

The road is part of the World Bank-funded North Eastern Road Corridor Asset Management Project.

The 340km road works under the North Eastern Road Corridor Asset Management Project (NERAMP) connect 11 districts, namely Tororo, Mbale, Bukedea, Kumi, Ngora, Soroti, Kaberamaido, Dokolo, Lira, Kole and Oyam.

This is the longest road project ever undertaken by the Ugandan government.
