Uganda Government has licensed a French company to manage the road toll and maintenance of the Entebbe Expressway, Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) has confirmed as road users are obligged to pay before passing.

The French firm, Egis Roads Operation S. A, will start work after the official signing ceremony in March.

The Unra director in charge of Network Planning and Engineering, Mr Isaac Wani, said government has not yet determined the levy that motorists will pay to use the road.

“The Minister of Works is in discussion with the Minister of Finance as far as that tolling system is concerned. One of the chapters in that tolling strategy relates to how much motorists will be expected to pay for the different classes of the vehicles to plie the expressway,” Mr Wani said at a press conference at Unra offices in Kampala yesterday.
