“The government is committed to investing in infrastructure that meets the needs of our citizens. This bridge will significantly reduce travel time and contribute to the overall development of Mbarara City,” she noted.

The L.C 1 chairperson of Katete, Mr. Zanafa Eric Williams, thanked the UPDF for their efficient and quick work. He noted that the bridge is used by Rwanda and Tanzania through Insigiro.

The ceremony was graced by Mayor Kachebezi, the RCC of Mbarara City, the City Town Clerk, the City Engineer Eng. Mugisha Hillary, the UPDF Construction Brigade team led by Maj. Francis Mugasira, the legal officer, among others.

The new bridge is expected to facilitate better access to schools, healthcare, and markets, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents in Katete and surrounding areas.
