The Uganda National Roads Authority has announced the successful completion of an asphalt laying on the Karuma Bridge deck and its approach roads, marking a key milestone in the ongoing repair works.
The announcement, made through a statement shared on X indicates that the project is nearing its final stages.
According to UNRA, the State Minister for Works, Musa Ecweru, is scheduled to visit the site tomorrow during which the minister will provide key guidelines for travelers ahead of the bridge’s reopening to traffic, preparing the public for the resumption of operations on this vital road link.
Karuma Bridge, a crucial link on the Kampala-Gulu highway, was closed in May this year after authorities identified significant structural cracks, deeming it unsafe. END
