Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Kigali Ring Road (KRR) project, a transformative infrastructure initiative to ease traffic congestion and enhance transportation in Rwanda\u2019s capital, requires $335 million for full implementation, The New Times has learned.<\/p>\n

Spanning 95 kilometers, the proposed ring road will encircle Kigali, offering an alternative route for commercial cargo and reducing pressure on the city\u2019s urban core.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kigali Ring Road is designed to decongest the city by creating a bypass route, particularly for freight transport. It will connect all national roads serving Kigali and link to the new Kigali International Airport in Bugesera,\u201d said Theogene Dusabumuremyi, Acting Director General in Charge of Transport at the Ministry of Infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the feasibility study and preliminary design have been completed.<\/p>\n

During the feasibility study, the Kigali Master Plan recommended constructing the ring road outside the city’s built-up areas as a high-capacity corridor. This would facilitate inter-district travel without requiring commuters to pass through the city, significantly easing congestion.<\/p>\n

The Second National Strategy for Transformation (NST2) has set to implement key projects to improve urban mobility. These include introducing dedicated bus lanes, constructing high-capacity road junctions, and implementing smart traffic management systems to mitigate congestion.<\/p>\n
