CURRENT STATUS

There are existing roads from Kasomeno to Kasenga in the Democratic Republic of Congo and from the bridge to Mwenda in the Republic of Zambia. These largely follow the proposed route and will be upgraded, with a new section of road required from Kasenga to Chalwe, the future bridge site. The area at the Luapula River will form the border crossing and will comprise the bridge itself, one-stop border posts and associated infrastructure.
