Kampala, Uganda - Entebbe International Airport Expressway (abbreviated as KE Expressway) is the first expressway in Uganda's history, and also the first expressway designed and constructed using Chinese technical specifications and standards. The entire line is 49.56 kilometers long, with a project cost of4.76 US dollars. It is a four-lane dual-carriageway expressway with a design speed of 100km/h80km/h

The main line of the expressway is 36.85 kilometers long, connecting Kampala and Entebbe International Airport. Among them,K25- the end point is a section of old road renovation (widening section 7.75kmand paving section 4.1km). The branch line is 12.71 kilometers long, connecting Kajjansi town and Munyonyo International Conference Centre.KE The design and construction of the expressway project adopted Chinese highway engineering technical standards and specifications, proving that Chinese technology, Chinese standards, and Chinese specifications are recognized and are going global.

 

KE The birth of the expressway has reduced the travel time from the Ugandan capital to the international airport from the original 2 hours to 40 minutes. It has filled the gap in Uganda's lack of high-grade highways, promoted the improvement of Uganda's highway system and supporting facilities, and greatly facilitated the travel of local residents and the travel of foreign tourists between the airport and the capital.

While significantly improving the traffic conditions in the capital and surrounding areas, it also drives the dispersed economic activities around the capital to the central business district, providing a new model for Uganda's future infrastructure construction and operation and management. At the same time, this project is also a window for Uganda to showcase its economic strength to the international community, and it is also one of the main plans for building the “Kampala Metropolitan Prosperity Area.”
