Gayaza–Ziroobwe Road

The road starts at Gayaza and proceeds northeastwards, going through Namulonge, Busiika, and Bugema before ending in Ziroobwe, a distance of about 33 kilometres (21 mi).^[2]

Prior to 2007, the road had a gravel surface. In 2007, the government of Uganda began to upgrade the surface to bitumen at an estimated cost of US$40 million. The work, undertaken by Serbian firm Energoprojekt, began in March 2007 and was originally expected to be completed in November 2009.^[1] The construction and improvement of the road were extended to include the Kampala-Gayaza section of the road. Because of repeated delays, work was not completed until June 2011.^[3]
