M-05

What this manual covers

The Maintenance Manual is delivered as five volumes — Pavement, Bridge, Drainage + Slope, Road Furniture, and Tunnel — with a cross-cutting section on annual maintenance budgeting and performance indices.

The Bridge volume integrates directly with the Bridge Management System (BMS) so inspection findings on Kampala–Entebbe Expressway flow into prioritized maintenance planning.

Why it matters in Uganda

Maintenance budgets are the most under-funded layer of road asset management when guidance is missing. This manual gives MoWT a defensible, data-backed annual budgeting process tied to inspection KPIs.
