Great East road rehabilitation project, Zambia
Name and Location
Great East road rehabilitation project, Zambia.
Project Description
The project will involve the development of the 360 km single carriage highway on Great East road, which connects central Zambia to its eastern province and the Nacala development corridor – a regional transport corridor linking Malawi and Zambia to the deep-water port of Nacala, in Mozambique.
The project feeds the Nacala corridor, which, when fully upgraded, will offer a significantly shorter route for Zambia’s imports and exports to and from the sea. It is also expected to generate savings in vehicle operating costs and travel time, as well as reduce the risk of road accidents.
Value
The estimated cost is €250-million.
Duration
Not confirmed.
Client
Zambia’s Road Development Agency.
Key Contracts and Suppliers
None.
Latest Developments
The Environmental Council of Zambia approved the project in July 2010.
Meanwhile, the European Investment Bank has pledged some €80-million towards the project. The contribution will be used to develop a dry port in Chipata, which is a road/rail interconnector.
On Budget and on Time?
Not stated.
