The Masaka–Mbarara Road is a road in the Central and Western Regions of Uganda, connecting the cities of MasakainMasaka District, Central Region and MbararainMbarara District, Western Region.[1]

Location[edit]

The road starts at Masaka and goes through Lyantonde, and ends in Mbarara, a distance of about 138 kilometres (86 mi).[2] The road improvements involved road extensions making the contract road length 154.2 kilometres (96 mi).[3] The coordinates of the road west of the town of Lyantonde are 0°26'00.0"S, 31°05'40.0"E (Latitude:-0.433343; Longitude:31.094438).[4]

Overview[edit]

Before 2008, the road had a bitumen surface in poor state. In 2008, the government of Uganda, with funding from the European Union, began upgrading the road to grade II bitumen surface with shoulders, culverts, and drainage channels. The work was contracted to Reynolds Construction Company of Nigeria,[5] at a cost of Sh230 billion (approx. €79 or US$104 million at that time).[1][6]
