Kampala–Jinja Expressway

Trademark East Africa, an affiliate of ITP, will provide oversight support to the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) in the management of PPP preparation, procurement, and implementation.

[2][7] In June 2014, the UNRA selected the International Finance Corporation as lead transaction advisor to assess the potential to develop the 77 kilometres (48 mi) expressway on a public private partnership basis.

Spea Engineering was hired to assist UNRA select one or more investors to design, build, finance, and operate the expressway.

[10] In May 2018, the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), advertised for bids from aspiring developers to design, build, finance, operate and later transfer the project back to the government after recovering their investment in the proposed 95 kilometres (59 mi), US$1 billion road project.

[13] As of February 2024, the Ugandan government and the funders, donors and advisors were still negotiating the terms of the concession agreement under the "design, build, finance, operate, and transfer (DBFOT) model".

[14] In November 2018, the total project cost of the Kampala-Jinja Expressway and the Kampala Southern Bypass Highway was quoted at US$1.55 billion.

[15] As of March 2020, the financing of this expressway and the associated Kampala Southern Bypass Highway, are as illustrated in the table below:[16] *Note: Totals are slightly off due to rounding.

[18][19] The remaining expressway from Namagunga to Jinja is mainly in rural country and measures approximately 41 kilometres (25 mi).

As of July 2024, motor vehicles traversing the Kampala-Jinja Highway spend an average of two hours traveling that 80 kilometres (50 mi).
