It is funded jointly by the government of Uganda (50 percent) and TradeMark East Africa, a subsidiary of the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (US$22 million). The road was expected to be ready for use in April 2016.[4][5] After delays related to land compensation, the expected completion date was moved to December 2016.[6] In September 2017, The EastAfrican, reported that the road had been completed.[1]
