A new 192km road link will connect Juba with Nimule in Southern Sudan. This US$225 million project is being funded by the US Agency for International Development (1372 USAID). The new road will be surfaced and will reduce journey times from eight hours at present to just 2.5 hours. The first phase of the project is to build seven bridges along the route, with the second phase covering the surfacing work. The new road will help improve trade between Juba and neighbouring Uganda.
