> Description du projet

The Kampala Northern By-Pass is located in Kampala and the district of Wakiso. The project road lies for most of its length within the northern part of Kampala. Only the section from Naalya to the Stadium on Jinja road lies in the district of Wakiso.
The proposed works to be carried out under the works contract concern the construction of 21 km of road, all of which on a new alignment, with single carriageway for 17.5 km and dual carriageway for 3.5 km and comprise the following main activities: site clearance and earthworks, lateritic gravel sub base, crushed aggregates base, asphaltic concrete, double bituminous surface treatment (DBST), culverts, headwalls, bridges, side roads and carry out service relocations and protection works.
The road passes through generally rolling terrain, with swamps in most of the valleys. The major part of the road is along or through these swamps, thus minimising disturbance to communities. The project region experiences generally hot and wet conditions throughout the year, with only minor temperature variations occurring. The maximum daytime temperature averages 29°C and the overnight minimum averages 16°C. Rainfall along the road is consistently heavy with an average rainfall of 1,294 mm.
