An upgrade to the road link connecting the cities of Kampala and Entebbe in Uganda will be funded by a loan worth US$350 million being provided by the 3422 Chinese Exim Bank. The work will focus on upgrading a 37km section of road from the Busega-Mityana junction to the Entebbe road at Kajjansi. In addition, a 14km spur will be built to connect 14km from Munyonyo to Lweza. The deal has been approved by the 1073 Ugandan Government and Uganda is expected to settle the loan in 20 years time. The deal has a five year grace period and the loan comes with an annual interested rate of 2%.
