President Yoweri Museveni over the weekend has commissioned the 104-km Musita-Lumino-Busia-Majanji road linking the eastern part of the country to the border district of Busia in Kenya.

The road was upgraded from gravel to paved bituminous standard and is expected to have a design speed of about 90 km per hour.

Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Works and Transport, the two-way two-lane road, constructed by China Railway 18th Bureau Group Co. Ltd, will shorten the travel time from Busia to Jinja from the original five hours to two hours, effectively alleviating the material transportation problem in eastern Uganda.
