THE contractor engaged to work on the 80 kilometre Lumwana-Kambimba border road is on site, with works having advanced following the signing of a concession agreement in September 2023 between government and Sandstone Consortium to construct the road.

The residents have described the project as a great milestone that will not only improve trade volumes between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) but also provide massive business and employment opportunities for local people and beyond.

Lloyd Kalamba, a resident in Chief Kakoma’s chiefdom, has applauded the government for the ongoing project adding it will help accelerate development and boost business in the district.

Another resident, Robert Katuta said once complete, the road will ease the transportation of goods and services.

Mwinilunga East Member of Parliament, Jones Mukanzu described the project as a milestone that will benefit everyone across the province.
