Watching 👀 from Germany 🇩🇪. Dankeschön. Its amazing project am convinced that in some years to come traffic jam in kampala will decrease or totally ceases ❤

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Great to hear from you Safina. Its what we really want. We suffer from traffic jam in Nsangi, kyengera along Masaka road. I think they should establish a flyover too at Busega roundabout. This will minimise the traffic congestion at that point.

@@Dominicmutyaba I know it better because my home village is Buddo

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@@safinanamujju6105 i think a railway system would solve all these issues

[@safinanamujju6105]

@Dominicmutyaba of course it's the better one but affording it is costly. I can see here it's already in place and development but it's too complicated to manage if it's so here in a developed country imagine in Uganda. A rail can get a blockage or any other problem and it takes a week to be renovated even a month .it's too much it's so complicated we need years in Uganda just to construct a 1 fine railway. We need to first solve some problems so that they can collect enough tax to be able to afford it

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@@safinanamujju6105 but actually Uganda borrowed noney of recent to build a railway connecting to the Kenyan boarder

Ok 👍🏽 watching 👀 from Manchester England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@tyronsimpson2143 nice to hear from you.

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@Simpson since you live in Uk. What should Uganda learn from UK so as to transform Uganda’s transport system. And what's your rate on this Mpigi Expressway so far?

[@bukenyaemmanuel2597]

Good job bro

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Thanks bro

[@PaulBanalya]

Check on nakawuuka kasanje road

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Very soon

[@irenenakimuli5149]

Is this road connecting to Lungala areas

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Yes. There will also be an interchange at Lugala

[@leon-gh4me]

There is no progress if I may say. Its been close to three years nothing tangible

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Hahaha there something tangible though not so big

[@KigongoReagan-gh8sg]

It is likely to be like Entebbe express

[@Dominicmutyaba]

I am not sure though that it will be a toll road like the entebbe express way

[@Pajtim2023]

Watching from USA I'm Albanian from North Macedonia in Europe and I heard the project is going to take 10 years right? For 30 to 40 km in a flat flatland, it should be done under three years I don't know why they taking that much. I hope they don't put a lot of money on their pocket. I hope not. In Albania, they did a highway two lane in each side plus emergency under one year for 30 km almost

[@hopepray1669]

It has taken 3 years not 10 years

[@Dominicmutyaba]

That was just my colleague's opinion, not the reality @Pajtim2023

[@Dominicmutyaba]

The construction began in May 2020. But we are not sure when it will be complete

[@cityenergizes4246]

Show us blue print of the road

[@honeybadger297]

Delusion is real. How does a 20km road change the transportation landscape in a country suffering from potholes?

[@Dominicmutyaba]

A 20km road may seem like a small stretch, but its impact can be significant in a country struggling with potholes. Here's how: 1. *Reliable connectivity*: A well-maintained 20km road can connect important towns, cities, or economic hubs, ensuring reliable transportation and boosting economic activity. 2. *Reduced travel time*: By providing a smooth and efficient route, travel time decreases, saving people hours or even days of travel, and increasing productivity. 3. *Improved safety*: Good roads reduce the risk of accidents caused by potholes, making travel safer for passengers and cargo. 4. *Economic growth*: A single improved road can stimulate local economies by increasing access to markets, jobs, and essential services like healthcare and education. 5. *Job creation*: Building and maintaining roads creates employment opportunities in construction, maintenance, and related industries. 6. *Model for future development*: A successful 20km road project can serve as a model for future road development, encouraging investment and improvement of the entire transportation network. 7. *Enhanced quality of life*: By reducing travel time and improving safety, people can spend more time on productive activities, enjoy better access to services, and experience an overall improvement in their quality of life. While a single 20km road may not solve all transportation challenges, it can have a ripple effect, inspiring further investment and improvement in the country's transportation landscape.

[@sidneynangai6879]

Depends on where the road is. Tell me you have not used northern bypass at all and whether it has made a difference

[@Dominicmutyaba]

Traffic congestion has significant economic impacts, including: 1. *Productivity losses*: Time wasted in traffic congestion translates to reduced productivity, impacting business operations and employee work hours. 2. *Increased fuel consumption*: Idling in traffic leads to higher fuel consumption, resulting in increased costs for individuals and businesses. 3. *Higher transportation costs*: Congestion increases travel times, leading to higher transportation costs for goods and services. 4. *Reduced competitiveness*: Traffic congestion can make cities less attractive to businesses, investments, and talent, hindering economic growth. 5. *Negative impact on logistics*: Congestion affects delivery times, increasing costs and reducing the reliability of logistics and supply chains. 6. *Decreased quality of life*: Traffic congestion can lead to increased stress, decreased quality of life, and reduced economic opportunities. 7. *Environmental impacts*: Idling vehicles contribute to air pollution, harming public health and the environment. 8. *Reduced economic growth*: Severe congestion can lead to reduced economic growth, as businesses and individuals may choose to locate elsewhere. 9. *Increased costs for businesses*: Congestion leads to increased costs for businesses, including higher transportation and logistics costs. 10. *Negative impact on tourism*: Traffic congestion can deter tourists, impacting local economies that rely on tourism. By understanding these economic impacts, Kampala prioritized strategies to mitigate traffic congestion, promoting economic growth, sustainability, and improved quality of life by construction of Nothern bypass and Kampala Flyover and entebbe Expressway. The Mpigi Expressway and Jinja Expressway are also in progress

[@penielrwendeire7869]

It depends how strategic the 20km is located. Am watching from Canada and I love mpigi it has the only natural forest in the greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@penielrwendeire7869 that's really true @badger

[@Pajtim2023]

To much time 10 years for 30km-40 km road And this is flat land not rocky mountains to take 10 years This road should take 2 years max or 3 In albania they did 25 km road highway 2 lane each side plus emergency brand new from sratch for 15 months If chinesse company saying will take 10 Years This is money abuse not worth 10 years

[@ronaldeastgate8988]

Olowoza abali mu government yamuseveni ne museveni babiraba? We need the serious person on these roads construct

[@Dominicmutyaba]

I think this delay could be because the government has taken on so many road projects around Kampala at once, hence leaving so many of them incomplete. Btw the Kampala Expressway is also incomplete. It has a second phase which is not yet constructed.

[@costabandale7507]

He doesn't know the completion of construction, I think he's guessing ./ Emphasis. It seems like 3 yrs. To get work done.

[@Dominicmutyaba]

@costabandale7507 depending on the way funds are disbursed to the project runner

[@Rango-tenge-tenge-256]

It has took to much time

[@KigongoReagan-gh8sg]

Yes
