Description
Improvement of about 360 km of single carriageway highway on the Great East Road connecting central Zambia to its eastern province, as well as into the “Nacala Development Corridor”, a regional transport corridor linking Malawi and Zambia to the deep water port of Nacala in Mozambique.
Objectifs
The project is expected to generate savings in vehicle operating costs and travel time as well as reduce the risk of road accidents. The project feeds the Nacala Corridor, which, when fully upgraded, will offer a significantly shorter route to/from the sea for Zambian imports and exports than other existing routes through South Africa and Tanzania. The EIB contribution is expected to include the works for developing a dry port (road-rail interconnector) in Chipata.
