[1][2] The road starts at Wabigalo on the Kampala–Gulu Highway, approximately 56 kilometres (35 mi), south of the Kafu River bridge.
[3] From Wabigalo, the road extends eastwards to the Headquarters of Nakasongola District, a distance of approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi).
[5] Also, from Wabigalo, the construction extends north-westwards along the Gulu Highway for about 1.5 kilometres (1 mi), to Sasira.
The upgrading of the road involved the conversion of the then existing gravel surface to tarmac and the building of bridges and drainage channels.
[1][2] Energo Project, a Serbian construction company carried out the upgrade, between 2010 and 2011, at a cost of USh13.8 billion (at that time US$6 million), funded by the Government of Uganda.
