This week, Mozambique launched the construction of a 165 km road for an estimated cost of $40.6 million, the news agency AIM indicated.

According to information reported by the news agency, the road should link Mueda to Negomano at Tanzania’s border and reduce the traveling time. It is planned to be built in two phases and should also contribute to economic growth by facilitating ecotourism and transborder trade with neighboring Tanzania.

Let’s note that this project financed by the African Development Bank falls within the framework of the large construction of National Highway Number 1 (N1), one of the main highways in the country.

Expected to last 2 and a half years, the execution of the project has been entrusted to the Chinese company Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Group (AFECC).
