EVEN IF TRAFFIC VOLUME IS SMALL, WE ARE BUILDING A DUAL CARRIAGE WAY BETWEEN LUSAKA AND MONGU-CHARLES MILUPI
UPGRADING OF THE MONGU -LUSAKA DUAL CARRIAGEWAY PROGRESSING WELL.
Upgrading of the Mongu-Lusaka Road from a two-lane to a four-lane dual carriageway progressing well.
Here are the highlights:
✅The project is aimed at improving the current road condition, enhance driving comfort, and provide significant convenience for safe travel of residents along the route.
✅The construction of the rigid pavement at this location has been done to take account of the heavy, slow-moving vehicles and those that are stopping, turning, or accelerating thereby inducing the highest stress levels which has a significant impact on the pavement.
✅The high-stress locations on road pavements include climbing lanes, truck weigh stations, rest areas, and other slow-speed areas such as Police checkpoints.
✅The design of the dual carriageway also includes traffic islands, concrete sidewalks on both sides, and proper drainage systems.
✅The contractor AVIC International has so far completed asphalt surfacing on the eastern bound lanes from Mongu Traffic Circle to Kambule Secondary School approximately 1.8 kilometers.
✅The contractor has also completed the construction of a 200 meters reinforced concrete (rigid) pavement with a thickness of 250 millimeters at Total Traffic Filling Station.
✅As per the project schedule, the works such as asphalt surfacing on the dual carriageway from the roundabout to Kambule School are scheduled for completion by mid December 2024
