UGANDANS EXCITED ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FLYOVER.

By Tusiime Scovia .

Pedestrians can now use the walkway on the new Kampala Flyover around Clock Tower, as it has been opened to the public. According to the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), the bridge was opened just in time for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit.

The bridge, opened on Wednesday, attracted many Ugandans, with some deciding to take selfies on it. Many warmly welcomed the development, stating that it will help them avoid collisions with motor vehicles and boda bodas during rush hours.

Regarding the security at the bridge, UNRA assured the public that there will be 24/7 security deployments at various spots on the bridge.

In addition, the Nsambya Underpass, a first-of-its-kind 4-lane underground road in Uganda spanning 360 meters, will soon be fully open to traffic. It is designed to facilitate smooth traffic flow along Mukwano Road, Ggaba Road, and Queen’s Way.

The construction of the Kampala Flyover was inaugurated by President Yoweri Museveni in 2018. This infrastructure project aims to alleviate congestion in the city by segregating traffic from the city streets. The flyover will seamlessly connect with other ongoing transportation projects both within and outside the city, including the Busega-Mpigi Express Way and the Kampala-Jinja Express Way.

With an estimated cost exceeding $3 billion, the project has already witnessed the construction of flyovers at key locations like the “Clock Tower” and “Kitgum House,” as well as the expansion of Nsambya Road and Mukwano Road.
