The Kampala Northern Bypass Highway, often referred to as the Northern Bypass, is a road in Uganda. It forms a semicircle across the northern suburbs of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The road was constructed to relieve traffic congestion within the city center, allowing cross-country traffic to bypass the city's downtown area.
The bypass stretches from Namboole, approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) to the east of downtown Kampala. The highway winds through the suburbs of Naalya, Kiwaatule, Kulambiro, Kigoowa, Bukoto, Mulago, Makerere, Bwaise, Kawaala, and Namungoona, to end at Busega, approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of the city. The highway measures approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) in length. The coordinates of the road at its northernmost point are 00°21′56″N 32°36′18″E / 0.36556°N 32.60500°ECoordinates: 00°21′56″N 32°36′18″E / 0.36556°N 32.60500°E.
