The close to 46km expressway that was  constructed by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) was on Friday commissioned by President Museveni and China's deputy premier, H.E Wan Yang who is in the country for a state visit.

This will decongest the Entebbe Kampala highway that has high profile officials plying the route every 10 to 15 minutes.

Notable among those that attended the commissioning was the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, Prime Minister Dr. Ruhaka Ruganda and the First Lady, Jane Museveni.

Motorists are yet to know the amount that will be required to use the express highway.
