Kampala Capital City Authority initiated infrastructure improvements on Thursday night to combat recurring flood damage along two major thoroughfares by installing expanded drainage systems. Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki explained during a site visit that the construction work targets enhanced water management by directing storm runoff more efficiently toward the Nakivubo Channel, addressing vulnerabilities exposed during recent downpours that have disrupted commercial activities and vehicle movement.
Officials recommended that drivers and pedestrians utilize Burton Street, William Street, and Wilson Road as alternate pathways while crews complete the culvert installations. The authority characterized the initiative as one component of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen urban infrastructure against seasonal precipitation and minimize economic disruption across the capital.
