The Kampala–Jinja Highway is a road in Uganda , connecting the cities of Kampala and Jinja . Sometimes referred to as Kampala–Jinja Road , it is a busy road, with several towns, trading centers and other points of interest along the way. As of October 2016, a new, wider, four-lane dual carriageway expressway, the Kampala–Jinja Expressway , is proposed to be constructed south of the present highway to relieve traffic and complement existing transport infrastructure between Kampala and Jinja.[1]
Location [ edit ]
The highway stretches from Kampala , Uganda's capital and largest city, to Jinja , the country's second largest commercial center, a distance of approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi ).

The highway forms a section of the Northern Corridor , a road system that connects the East African cities of Bujumbura , in Burundi , Kigali , in Rwanda and Kampala , in Uganda to Nairobi , in Kenya and ultimately to the Kenyan port of Mombasa . The road is a vital commercial link to the outside world for the three land-locked countries. It is also a vital road link to the sea, for many parts of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo .[4]
