}}Mbarara–Ntungamo–Kabale–Katuna Road is a road in the Western Uganda, connecting the city of Mbarara, in Mbarara District, with the towns of Ntungamo, Kabale and Katuna at the international border with the Republic of Rwanda.[1]

Location

The road starts at Mbarara (pop. 195,238),[2] the largest city in the Western Region of Uganda. It continues in a southwesterly direction through Ntungamo and Kabale to end at Katuna at the international border with Rwanda, a distance of about {{convert|125|km|0}}[1] The coordinates of the road, immediately south of Ntungamo are:0°54'10.0"S, 30°15'14.0"E (Latitude:-0.902778; Longitude:30.253889).[3]

Upgrading to bitumen

In December 2010, the European Union extended a grant of USh325 billion (approximately €116 million at that time), to improve the {{convert|125|km|mi}}, stretch of the East African Northern Corridor, between Mbarara and Katuna. The road was divided into two sections: (a) Mbarara-Ntungamo Section, was budgeted at UShs154 billion (€51 million) and (b) Ntungamo-Katuna Section was budgeted at UShs198.26 billion (€65 million). The Ugandan government was budgeted to contribute 8 percent of the grant value (approximately €9.28 million).[1] The construction contract was awarded to Reynolds Construction Company of Switzerland, the lowest bidder. The work was designated in December 2011.[4] Road works involve widening the roadway to {{convert|11|m|ft}}.[5] As of August 2016, Uganda National Roads Authority listed the road as an ongoing project.[6] By May 2018, the last section of this road was reported as completed.[7]
