The Iganga–Tirinyi–Kamonkoli–Mbale Road , also known as the Nakalama–Tirinyi–Kamonkoli–Mbale Road , is a road in the Eastern Region of Uganda , connecting the towns of Iganga in Iganga District , Namutumba in Namutumba District , Tirinyi in Kibuku District , Kamonkoli in Budaka District , and Mbale in Mbale District .
Location [ edit ]
The road starts at Nakalama, a suburb of Iganga, on the Jinja –Tororo Highway, approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi ) east of Jinja.[1] The road proceeds in a north-easterly direction, through Namutumba, Tirinyi, and Kamonkoli before ending at Mbale, a total distance of about 101 kilometres (63 mi ).[2] The coordinates of the road at Tirinyi are 1°00'07.0"N, 33°45'51.0"E (Latitude: 1.001930; 33.764164).[3]
Overview [ edit ]
This road is an important national road, under the supervision of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA).[4]
The road was upgraded to class II bitumen surface in 1995, with loan assistance from thean Development Bank]].[5] Since the upgrade, the road has been plagued by recurrent surface erosion, sinkholes, and vandalism.[6] [7] [8]
The government of Uganda (GOU), through UNRA, plans to fund a rehabilitation of this road. As of April 2015, the road rehabilitation project was classified as "Ongoing", fully funded by GOU.[9]
On 21 January 2022, the upgraded and resurfaced road was commissioned by Robinah Nabbanja , the Prime Minister of Uganda. The 99.3 kilometres (62 mi ) single carriageway transport corridor was rehabilitated and improved to class II bitumen standard by Dott Services , fully funded by he Ugandan government. The rehabilitated road's projected lifespan is 15 years from date of completion.[10]
