This is approximately {{convert|260|km|0}}, by road, north of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[3] It is located on the Kampala–Gulu Highway, approximately {{convert|76|km|0}}, by road, south of Gulu, the largest city in the Northern Region of Uganda.[4] The coordinates of the New Karuma Bridge are 02°14'35.0"N, 32°14'22.0"E (Latitude:2.243056; Longitude:32.239444).[5] HistoryThe current Karuma Bridge (the old bridge) was constructed in 1963, one year after Uganda attained independence from Britain.[1] The old bridge is a narrow, one carriageway without pedestrian or bicycle lanes and no monitoring equipment.[2] The bridge has been the site of several major accidents.[6][7][8] The proposed new bridge would be modeled after the New Jinja Bridge in the Eastern Region of Uganda. A suspended cable bridge, with bicycle/motorcycle lanes is being considered. The feasibility studies and technical designs for the new bridge have been concluded. The Japan International Cooperation Agency has indicated interest in the project, although it has not confirmed willingness to fund it.[1] ConstructionConstruction commencement is contingent on securing government down-payment and development partner counter-funding.[9] Construction costsIn 2017, NBS Television reported that the estimated cost of the new bridge was in excess of US$100 million.[10] See also
