The Wabigalo–Nakasongola–Sasira Road is a road in the Central Region of Uganda, connecting the town of Nakasongola with the towns of Wabigalo and Sasira on the Kampala–Gulu Highway. An extension from Nakasongola links to Nakasongola Air Force Base.[1][2]

Location

The road starts at Wabigalo on the Kampala–Gulu Highway, approximately {{convert|56|km|0}}, south of the Kafu River bridge.[3] From Wabigalo, the road extends eastwards to the Headquarters of Nakasongola District, a distance of approximately {{convert|5|km|0}}.[4] From there, the road runs in a general south to north direction to the Nakasongola Airport, the location of the UPDF Nakasongola Air Force Base, a distance of about {{convert|12|km|0}}.[5] Also, from Wabigalo, the construction extends north-westwards along the Gulu Highway for about {{convert|1.5|km|0}}, to Sasira.[6] The entire road measures about {{convert|21|km|0}}.[1][2] The geographical coordinates of this road, between Wabigalo and Nakasongola are: 01°18'54.0"N, 32°26'26.0"E (Latitude:1.315000; Longitude:32.440556).[7]

Overview

This road connects the town of Nakasongola, where the headquarters of Nakasongola District are located, to the Gulu Highway, which links the capital Kampala, to Gulu, the largest city in the Northern Region of Uganda. It also links downtown Nakasongola to Nakasongola Air Force Base and Nakasongola Military Airport.[1][2]

Upgrading to tarmac

Prior to 2010, this road was gravel-surface in poor condition, with gullies and pot-holes. The upgrading of the road involved the conversion of the then existing gravel surface to tarmac and the building of bridges and drainage channels.[1][2] Energo Project, a Serbian construction company carried out the upgrade, between 2010 and 2011, at a cost of USh13.8 billion (at that time US$6 million), funded by the Government of Uganda.[1][2]
