The Fort Portal–Bundibugyo–Lamia Road is in the Western Region of Uganda. It links Fort Portal in the Kabarole District with the towns of Bundibugyo and Lamia in the Bundibugyo District.

Location

The road starts in Fort Portal, east of the Rwenzori Mountains. It runs north along the western border of Semliki National Park. After cutting across the mountain range, it makes a 180 degree turn and runs south along the western foothills of the range. It gradually turns westward, through Bundibugyo town to end at the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) at the banks of the Lamia River.[1][2] The length of the road is approximately 103.6 kilometres (64.4 mi).[3] The coordinates of the road in Bundibugyo town are 0°42'25.0"N, 30°03'47.0"E (Latitude:0.706944; Longitude:30.063056).[4]

Before 2010, the road was gravel surface. Between 2010 and 2014, the government of Uganda, with funding from the African Development Bank (ADB), upgraded the road to class II asphalt bitumen with a width of 6 metres (20 ft) and shoulders of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) on each side.[5] Construction was undertaken by the Chongqing International Construction Corporation from March 2010[6] until March 2014.[7] The road was officially commissioned in August 2015 by Allen Kagina, the executive director of the Uganda National Roads Authority.[8]
