The road begins in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, running in a northwestern direction through six districts to end in Hoima, the headquarters of the country's nascent petrochemical industry,[3] a distance of approximately 202 kilometres (126 mi).[4]
Overview
The highway is an all-weather tarmac single carriageway road. It offers the most direct route from Kampala to the oil-rich Albertine region in the Western Region.[5]
Upgrade to tarmac
Before 2006, the road was gravel surfaced. The government of Uganda contracted for the road to be upgraded to class II bitumen surface with shoulders, drainage channels, and culverts. The upgrade lasted until 2009.[1][6]
