• Angola launches $81.8M project to rehabilitate 200 km of Huambo roads
• Works target key national routes to boost trade and agriculture
• Government expects added benefits for tourism and regional commerce

Angola's government launched a project this week to rehabilitate 200 kilometers of roads in the central Huambo province. The project, valued at 75 billion kwanzas (about $81.8 million), is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete.

The work will focus on several key sections, including Huambo-Calima, Calima-Gandavila, Huambo-Sanitary Landfill, Sanitary Landfill-Caála, and Caála-Cuima. Rehabilitation will also cover stretches of National Roads 358 and 120, specifically the Gove-Chipindo, Huambo-Chipipa, Chipipa-Chitatamela, and Chitatamela-Alto Hama routes.

According to Minister of Public Works, Urban Planning, and Housing, Carlos Alberto dos Santos, the upgrades are aimed at improving the flow of people and goods in the Central Highlands, a major agricultural production hub.

In addition to boosting trade, the government anticipates a positive impact on local tourism, a sector that remains largely untapped in Huambo province despite its attractive but often inaccessible landscapes.

This program is part of a broader national effort to improve road infrastructure, reduce logistics costs, and stimulate regional commerce.
