Gayaza–Ziroobwe Road is a road in central Uganda, connecting the towns of Gayaza in Wakiso District and Ziroobwe in Luweero District.^[1]

Location

The road starts at Gayaza and proceeds northeastwards, goes through Namulonge, Busiika, and Bugema before ending in Ziroobwe, a distance of about 33 kilometres (21 mi).^[2] The coordinates of the road in Bugema, Luweero District are 0°34'14.0"N, 32°38'38.0"E (Latitude:0.570556; Longitude:32.643889).^[3]

Overview

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 was extended to include the Kampala-Gayaza section of the road. Because of repeated delays, completion did not occur until June 2011.^[4]
