Karuma Bridge
The Government of Uganda through the Uganda National Roads Authority [UNRA] has engaged a consultant to conduct a diagnostic study of the Karuma bridge along the Kampala—Gulu Highway.
The study aims to assess the current condition and remaining lifespan of the bridge. The findings will inform potential interventions to reinforce the bridge, ensuring its longevity as plans for a new bridge take shape.
To gather the necessary data, the consultant will conduct detailed inspections and measurements to ensure collection of reliable information. This will necessitate closing part of the bridge for short periods, to allow the consultant carry out the assessments safely.
In the near future, following adequate consultations with the relevant stakeholders and to be able to undertake this critical assignment on the National Road Network, we will notify the general public on the changes in traffic flow at Karuma Bridge.
