The country鈥檚 inaugural highway 鈥� which was first approved as a public/private partnership funding scheme in 2020 鈥� will link the northern and southern regions of Angola, including connections with neighbouring Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Provinces to see expanded infrastructure include Cunene, Zaire, and Cabinda.
Bridge works, presumably over the Congo River, are expected to link Zaire and Angola鈥檚 Cabinda enclave.
Initial studies for the project will start later this summer with construction work expected to commence in late 2025 or 2026.
A date of completion was not available.
