The Katine-Ochero road approximately 70 km long is an existing gravel road in the districts of Soroti and Kaberamaido in Eastern Uganda. The road traverses relatively low lying and gently sloping land. The surrounding area is occupied by poor pasture, some woodland with extensive cultivation. The route crosses two large swamps, the Ogolit at km 6 and the Omabor at km 34 plus a minor swamp, the Otage at km 50.
In the previous 2006 design, the works consisted of upgrading approximately 70 km of existing gravel road to surface dressed (SD) paved road Class III with double seal coat treatment of a 6.0 m carriageway. This was to be flanked by two 1.2 m wide double surface-dressed shoulders.
The road contributes significantly to the economic prosperity of the region. The road upgrading will also assist the administrative and social coverage in the region and reduce vehicle operating costs.
