Government has completed construction of the Soroti-Moroto road.
Construction of the Shs398 billion three-year project commenced in November 2016.
A Chinese Company, China Communication Construction Company Limited (CCCC), was contracted to construct the road.
Previously, travellers spent between 24 and 48 hours travelling from Moroto to Soroti on a muddy road to cover a distance of 175 kilometres. This is no more as it takes less than 24 hours on the newly tarmacked road.
The upgrading of the road has also lowered transport fares to Moroto to Shs20,000 from Shs25,000. The cost of transporting a sack of 100kg of grain on trucks has also dropped from Shs15,000 to Shs10,000.
Mr Jim Yingchao, the chief project engineer of CCCC Limited, said works are complete and they are yet to hand over the road officially so that it is open to the public.
