With a 99.75% completion rate, the flyover project includes: Clock Tower Flyover (584m overall, 366m bridge, 2 lanes), Shoprite Pedestrian Bridge (92m, three-pointed star shape), Clock Tower Pedestrian Bridge (229m, circular shape), Kibuli Pedestrian Bridge (40m), Nsambya Underpass (360m, 4 lanes) and Upgraded Roads (2,920m total).

Others include; Five Signalised Junctions at Shoprite, Clock Tower, Nsambya, Hospital, and New Kibuli Overpass, an Enhanced Drainage System with major culverts and side drains, Nine Gantries (18-48m wide) for traffic signage, Pedestrian Safety Features, including fences separating walkways from motorways and a Water Fountain near Pan African Square.

To support its operation and maintenance, KCCA has received a street sweeper truck, a drain pipe cleaner truck, two high-pressure washers, and two road patrol cars.

The Government of Japan, through JICA, financed the project, which was executed by Shimizu/Konoike Joint Venture with construction supervision by Nippon Koei, Japan Engineering Company, and ICS.

Allan Ssempebwa, Assistant Manager Media and Communications at MoWT, emphasised the flyover’s 100-year lifespan, noting that regular maintenance will be key to ensuring its long-term efficiency.

This project is expected to significantly decongest Kampala’s Central Business District (CBD), reduce traffic delays, and improve pedestrian safety, marking a major milestone in the city’s urban infrastructure development.
