UNRA to build a temporary bridge in Pakwach

The Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) says it will construct a temporary bridge at Pakwach Bridge, to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow to northern Uganda and neighbouring countries.

Ms Allen Kagina, the executive director of Unra, while inspecting Pakwach Bridge, also known as the Albert Nile Bridge, last week said the Cabinet has approved the move.

“Cabinet has approved an emergency procurement for the temporary bridge in Pakwach, and this will allow traffic to move seamlessly to northern Uganda and beyond since the government is prioritising connectivity to ensure that business and social activities are not disrupted,” she said.
