At the heart of Kumi town, Eastern Uganda, a new landmark now stands, blending artistry and utility in a way that captures the spirit of Uganda.

The Kumi Roundabout Monument, unveiled by Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) Executive Director Allen Kagina, features Uganda’s national bird, the crested crane, proudly perched atop a vivid flower—a striking symbol of love, unity, and the warmth of the Ugandan people.

This structure, a Corporate Social Responsibility contribution by Arab Contractors, isn’t just a visual treat; it’s a step forward in road safety and urban planning.

Once known as a high-risk spot for vehicle collisions, this roundabout was redesigned and expanded as part of a project involving the construction of 20 kilometers of roads in Kumi and Pallisa towns.

Its new design now ensures smoother, safer passage for the heavy traffic coursing along the Northern Corridor, a major transit route stretching from Tororo through Mbale, Soroti, and up to Gulu.

As travelers pass through Kumi, they’re greeted by the graceful form of the crested crane, reminding them of Uganda’s rich cultural heritage and the gentle, welcoming nature of its people.

At night, the monument’s vibrant colours and strategic lighting bring it to life, turning the roundabout into a beacon that not only guides travellers but also represents the positive transformation of a once-dangerous junction into a symbol of progress.
