The Entebbe-Kampala Expressway

Entebbe–Kampala Expressway, also known as the “Kampala–Entebbe Expressway” or the “Entebbe–Kampala Highway”, is a four-lane toll highway under construction in the Central Region of Uganda. The highway will link Entebbe International Airport, the country’s largest civilian and military airport, to Kampala, the country’s capital and largest metropolitan area.

The route is categorized in two parts as Kampala – Entebbe Highway (36.94km) and Kajjansi Interchange – Munyonyo Highway (12.62km). The Kampala – Entebbe route consists of:

  • 18 overpass bridges,
  • 16 underpass bridges,
  • 4 major bridge, and
  • three interchanges located at Busega, Kajjansi and Abayita Ababari.

The first 24.9km is along a new route (toll expressway) while the remaining 12.04km is along the existing Kampala – Entebbe route of which 7.4km will be widened and 4.64km will be upgraded with additional pavement.

The second part of the project, Kajjansi Interchange – Munyonyo Highway consists of:

  • one interchange at Lweza with one overpass bridge,
  • one underpass bridge, and
  • one major swampy crossing bridge.

It consists of a 1.26km newly built section with access control and the remaining 11.36 without access control which will end at the existing Y-junction route of Lake Victoria, Salama and Munyonyo with a new roundabout.

The entire highway will be a four-lane, dual carriage expressway, with limited access to be established at Abayita Ababiri, Busega, Kajjansi and the intersection of the existing Entebbe Road with the Kajjansi Interchange – Munyonyo. It is planned to access the expressway at three Toll Gates.
