Project description: 

The project road is located entirely within the Luapula Province of the Republic of Zambia and runs in a generally northern direction from M003 junction through D821, D079 and D076, at a total length of 245 km.

The road was upgraded to an all-weather bituminous road in the 1970’s. Due to the lack of proper maintenance, the condition of the road deteriorated over the years.

It was the intention of the Government of Zambia through DANIDA (the financier of the project) to maintain the road through a periodic activity: reinstating shoulders, patching and repairing edges, reconstructing seriously damaged sections and applying a 13.2mm single seal on the carriageway.
