What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Road construction in Kampala is facing delays due to the relocation of utility services in the Central Business District. The Kampala Capital City Authority's target to complete most road works by December 2026 may be derailed. Contractors are also struggling with a shortage of bitumen, which a project manager attributed partly to global economic developments, including the Iran-Israel conflict, disrupting imports.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shortage of bitumen prevents contractors from surfacing prepared roads and completing finishing works like street lighting and road markings. The delays caused by the Central Business District relocation affect the completion timeline for infrastructure projects managed by the Kampala Capital City Authority.
