The contract for a key road project in Zambia has been awarded, which will help improve its international connections. Worth US$210 million, the project involves upgrading the existing M3 route connecting Mwenda with Kashiba. The 98km road upgrade will help increase safety and capacity and will boost transport connections between Mwenda and Kashiba, both of which are in Zambia’s western Luapula Province, as well as with the Democratic Republic of Congo just over the border. Heading eastwards meanwhile, the M3 connects with Kasama, the largest conurbation in the north of Zambia. The road improvement work will commence in late 2017 and will be handled by contractor GED Construction. The project will also include the construction of a bridge spanning the Luapula River, which in this area forms the border between the two countries, as well as a new border post.
