The Presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia have broken ground at the Lualapa river bridge site, marking the start of the Kasomeno-Mwenda Toll Road (KMTR) project.
The new route will reduce the roundtrip for commercial transporters from Haut-Katanga’s booming mining sector to the port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, by about 500 km.
