AfDB Confirms Kenya-Uganda Road Viable

A new study confirmed the 256-kilometer Kenya–Uganda Expressway is viable and ready for investment. The African Development Bank supported the project through the East African Community framework, using a NEPAD grant. Government, private-sector, and financial leaders endorsed it at a Kampala conference. The expressway will boost transport along the Northern Corridor, cut transit times, and reduce congestion at border points such as Busia.
