Addressing journalists at Uganda Media Centre Tuesday, Trade minister Amelia Kyambadde revealed that these roads will remove transportation barriers and foster trade and industry between the two neighboring countries.
The roads include; Budiba Bridge across River Semuliki with Rwebisengo-Budiba-Bunia Access Road (78Km), Mpondwe/Kasindi-Beni Road (77km), Nebbi-Goli-Bunia Road (197km), Goma-Rutshuru-Bunagana Road (100km) and Bukavu-Goma-Butembo-Beni-Bunia Corridor (758km).
According to the bilateral agreement, Uganda will contribute 20% of the total cost of the project estimated at $334.5million, as a measure to boost trade between the two countries.
