Construction giant Dott Services Limited has kicked off construction of Central Road in Kiwatule, we can confirm.
The construction, which will see the road upgraded from murram to bitumen, kicked off last week, bringing excitement to residents, traders and road users who have for years endured dust, potholes and poor drainage.
The project is under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Program (GKMA-UDP), a multi-billion initiative running through 2028 across Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, and Mpigi.
The GKMA-UDP aims to improve urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and boost economic activity in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area through the construction and rehabilitation of key roads, drainage systems and related infrastructure.
The Central Road Kiwatule runs from Muvule up to the Kiwatule Flyover on the Kampala Northern Bypass.
Once completed, the upgraded road is expected to ease movement, improve access to homes, schools, businesses and health facilities, and open up Kiwatule to more investment and development.
Residents have welcomed the development, saying the new bitumen road will transform the area and improve their daily lives.
