The Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) has announced that maintenance works on the Mabira section of the Kampala-Jinja highway will commence today, Saturday, November 23, 2024.
However, the repairs, which are expected to last until December 7, 2024, will address the deteriorating road surface that has caused significant challenges for motorists.
In a public notice, UNRA confirmed that traffic along the affected section will be restricted to one lane during the repair works. The roads authority advised motorists to consider alternative routes during this period. “Traffic Police and our project safety team will be on-site to assist road users,” the notice stated.

Alternative Routes for Motorists
Heavy Vehicles: The recommended route for heavy vehicles is the Mukono-Kyetume-Katosi-Kisoga-Nyenga/Njeru road.
Light Vehicles: Drivers of light vehicles can use the Njeru-Kayunga-Mukono/Kalagi-Gayaza route to Kampala.
The Mabira section of the Kampala-Jinja highway has been in a deteriorated state for years, with potholes and damaged surfaces contributing to frequent accidents and vehicle breakdowns.
UNRA spokesperson Allan Ssempebwa noted that the repairs would be conducted by the agency’s in-house road construction and maintenance teams.
In conclusion, the planned repairs come amidst growing frustration over delays in the rehabilitation of the Kampala-Jinja highway.
