The construction works of the Base-Butaro-Kidaho road is on 38.2% of progress, making significant strides. The project is set for completion by the end of 2025, marking a major milestone for road infrastructure in northern Rwanda.

Spanning 63 kilometers, the road traverses through the Rulindo and Burera districts in the northern region of Rwanda, connecting key areas and improving access to important facilities and services. This infrastructure project will not only ease transportation for local communities but also enhance connectivity within the region, particularly between rural and urban centers.

Connecting key infrastructure

The Base-Butaro-Kidaho road will play a vital role in improving access to several critical facilities, including the Butaro District Hospital, which is renowned for its cancer treatment services, and the University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), located in Butaro. These facilities are located in Butaro, and they are key players in healthcare and education in Rwanda, making the road a crucial link for students, healthcare professionals, and patients alike. The new road will contribute significantly to the region's development by enhancing the movement of goods, people, and services, and improving the overall quality of life for residents.

A step towards better regional connectivity

Once completed, the paved road will significantly reduce travel time and costs, improving trade and tourism opportunities in the area. This important project is expected to have a long-lasting positive impact on local economies, as it will foster easier access to markets, services, and healthcare.

RTDA (Rwanda Transport Development Agency) is committed to delivering this important project, ensuring that it is completed efficiently and to the highest standards, contributing to Rwanda’s vision of a well-connected and modernized road network.
