When completed, the road is expected to ease travel between the city of Entebbe and Mpigi, Masaka and communities in the Western Region of Uganda.
[4] A distance estimated at 2 kilometres (1 mi) across open water separates Buwaya and Nakiwogo Landing Site of the Entebbe Peninsular.
After completion, transit time between Entebbe and Mpigi is expected to reduce to less than thirty minutes from the current two hours.
[8][9] In August 2021, Yoweri Museveni, the President of Uganda directed Allen Kagina, the executive director of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), to award the construction contract of this road to China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), under the pre-financing model.
Under this arrangement, CCCC would start work of designing and constructing the road, using own money and be paid by government in the second or third year of the project.
