Atiak–Laropi Road

Uganda

Improving regional connectivity between Uganda and South Sudan

The Atiak–Laropi Road project involved the upgrading of a 66-kilometre gravel road to paved standard in north-western Uganda. Co-financed by the European Development Fund (EDF), the scheme forms part of a strategic transport corridor linking the remote north-west of Uganda and South Sudan with Kampala via Gulu. The upgraded road enhances regional mobility, improves access to communities and markets, and supports economic development in the region. 

Scope of Work

  • Upgrading of 66 km of existing gravel road to paved standard 
  • Construction of a 7 m wide asphalt carriageway with 2 m shoulders 
  • Construction of drainage infrastructure, including drains, box culverts and pipe culverts 
  • Construction of a ferry pier at the White Nile crossing 
  • Works in both urban and rural sections along the route
