The Iganga–Tirinyi–Kamonkoli–Mbale Road, also known as the Nakalama–Tirinyi–Kamonkoli–Mbale Road, is a road in the Eastern RegionofUganda, connecting the towns of IgangainIganga District, NamutumbainNamutumba District, TirinyiinKibuku District, KamonkoliinBudaka District, and MbaleinMbale District.

Location[edit]

The road starts at Nakalama, a suburb of Iganga, on the JinjaTororo 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]
