Road construction delays in Uganda hinder economic growth and competitiveness.
In Uganda, road infrastructure projects are facing challenges with delays, cost overruns, and poor quality materials. This is impacting the country's economic growth. Major road projects like Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima-Bulima road and Mubende-Kakumiro road have experienced significant time and cost overruns. The use of low-quality materials, poor scheduling, and delayed procurement are causing these issues. It is crucial to improve contractor management and monitoring processes to ensure successful completion of road construction projects.
