Uganda has today started the construction of a modern road linking the East african country to South Sudan.
President Yoweri Museveni (Wednesday) presides over the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Atiak-Nimule road from Uganda to South Sudan.
The construction work will be undertaken by the China Railway Wuju (Group) Corporation.
“Travel between Kampala and Bibia at the border with South Sudan is still a nightmare with unacceptably long journey times. With the upgrading of this road, we hope to solve this problem and this will enhance the trade between Uganda and Southern Sudan,” said Uganda’s transport Minister, Abraham Byandaala.
