Of the 13 projects set to be launched, two are for new expressways to link the highlands to the East-West motorway. The expressways will stretch 4,000km, with work on the first 2,000km to commence during the first quarter of 2013. The country is also gearing up its settlements for land expropriation, as so far only 3% of the 20,000 who lost homes to make way for the East-West motorway have managed to resolve their claims.
