Overview

This road is a very busy transport corridor. It is the second-busiest road in the country, after Kampala-Jinja Road. Kampala–Entebbe Road accommodates an estimated 264,000 passengers every day, as of May 2016. Other credible sources quoted traffic on this road at 635,656 vehicles annually, in 2011. Before the opening of the Entebbe–Kampala Expressway, this road was the only direct link between the city center and the international airport. The road is single carriageway, too narrow for the heavy traffic using the road. Because of the congestion, the road is one of the most automobile accident-prone locations in the country.
