Overview
Prior to 2009, the road had a gravel surface. In 2008, the government of Uganda began to upgrade the road from gravel to bitumen at an estimated cost of US$20 million. 65 percent of the funding was provided by the government while 35 percent was provided by the Nordic Development Fund. The work was carried out by the Chongqing International Construction Corporation.[3] COWI A/S, a Danish consultancy firm, supervised the work. Construction was completed in the second half of 2010.[4] It was reported in October 2010 that completion would occur as planned, in December 2010.[5]
