Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Electoral Commission is this morning set to handover its former offices on Jinja Road to the Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) to pave way for the construction of the Kampala Flyover and the road upgrading project.<\/p>\n

Mr Paul Bukenya, the Electoral Commission spokesperson, said the chairperson of the electoral body, Justice Simon Mugenyi Byabakama, will officially handover the premises to Unra officials at 9am for demolition of facilities on the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNRA is set to demolish the facilities on the land to pave way for the ongoing development of the Kampala Flyover Construction and road upgrading project,\u201d Mr Bukenya said in a press conference yesterday evening.<\/p>\n

The handover follows a public notice issued by Unra and Shizimu-Konoike Joint Venture, a Japanese company implementing the project, about the temporary traffic flow changes on Mukwano Road and New Kibuli Junction which will start tomorrow and is expected to end on June 12 when the construction works are completed.<\/p>\n

According to the two agencies, traffic from Kibuli to the city centre will use the New Kibuli junction towards Nsambya Junction and Clock Tower, while traffic from Kibuli to Mukwano Road will make a right turn at the new section of Mukwano Road towards the Mukwano Factory and Mukwano Roundabout.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists from Mukwano Road to and from Arena Mall will use the new slip road access. Traffic from Ggaba Road to Mukwano Road will use the overpass section of the new road along Villa Park area normally,\u201d the notice read in part.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cTraffic from the city centre through the Clock Tower junction towards the Nsambya Junction and Kibuli Hill will proceed through the area normally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those travelling on Mukwano Road to the city centre will not be affected by the changes.<\/p>\n
