The Japan International Cooperation Agency is providing approximately 9.2 billion Japanese yen (USD114.44 million) for the construction of a bridge and access roads in Uganda.
The loan will be used to build a new bridge and corresponding access roads across the Nile River in Uganda’s Jinja district, which is located some 80 kilometers east of the capital city of Kampala.
The construction of the bridge is part of a larger project to improve transportation and traffic safety in Uganda’s northern corridor, according to a JICA news release.
