In Nakawa Division, located east of Kampala, Portbell, Spring, and Old Portbell roads are undergoing remarkable transformation. Skilled workers and state-of-the-art machinery are diligently reshaping these vital arteries, enhancing the lives of the city’s residents and upgrading its infrastructure.
The construction sites are bustling with activity as heavy machinery gracefully maneuvers through mounds of earth, meticulously leveling the ground to perfection. Water bouzers work their magic, settling the dust and providing relief to urban dwellers. The deep hum of soil compactors reverberates as they create a solid foundation for the future.
Dressed in reflective vests and hard hats, the construction crew shares a collective vision of progress. Each member plays a crucial role in this grand transformation, ensuring that the road rehabilitation works proceed harmoniously.
Attention to detail is paramount as utility lines, electric cables, poles, water pipes, and telecommunication lines are meticulously shifted, ensuring uninterrupted access to vital services throughout the city’s transformation.
On Old Port Bell Road, box culverts are being constructed as part of an advanced drainage system, combining engineering excellence with environmental consciousness.
The ongoing road rehabilitation works, orchestrated by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) under the ambitious Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP), generously funded by the African Development Bank, echo the rhythm of progress. At least 41 roads are slated for rehabilitation under this project across the city in the next three years.
The rejuvenated roads will feature spacious walkways designed with pedestrians in mind, promising enhanced safety and accessibility. Soon, residents and visitors will enjoy strolling freely without the constraints of crowded sidewalks.
As the sun sets on another day of tireless work, the citizens of Kampala can rest assured that their roads are being transformed into pathways of progress.
