The project will upgrade the Gitarama–Mukamira Road, a vital stretch linking the capital, Kigali, to Lake Kivu and neighboring Congo DR. The project road is the main transport corridor within the region, but its gravel surface has been poorly maintained and is susceptible to flooding. Under the project, the existing road will be reconstructed and upgraded to all-weather standard over a length of 102.6 km. The new road will provide a safer, cheaper and more reliable form of transport for the region’s 1.7 million inhabitants, encourage agricultural productivity and allow better access to social services and markets, including export markets.
