THE government has signed a 25 year concession agreement with Macro Ocean Investment Consortium Limited for the upgrading of the Lusaka – Ndola road into a dual carriage way, under a public private partnership (PPP) arrangement.
The concession agreement will see the 327 kilometres of the Lusaka to Ndola road upgraded into a duo carriageway and rehabilitation of 45 kilometres of the Luanshya-Fisenge-Masangano road.
The signing ceremony was held at Protea Hotel in Ndola today where Minister of Finance and National Planning Dr Situmbeko Musokotwane, who is also chairperson of the PPP council, signed on behalf of the government.
In his speech, Minister of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development Charles Milupi said the scope of the project will include, during the concession period, performance and execution by the concessionaire of all design, engineering, financing, procurement, construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the project infrastructure as follows:
1. Construction of a dual carriageway from Lusaka to Ndola
2. Construction of Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi by-passes
3. Rehabilitation of 45 kilometres of the Masangano-Fisenge Luanshya road
4. Construction of two new toll plazas
5. Construction of two weighbridges and
6. Expansion and improvement of existing bridges.
Milupi has further explained that the 25 years concession period will be split as follows:
Three years construction and 22 years operations and maintenance.
The specific benefits of rehabilitating the road project include the following:
1. Travel times will improve between Lusaka and Ndola as there will be continuous flow of traffic because of the dual carriageway
2. Enhanced safety as a result of dualisation
3. Our citizens living along the project road will benefit from the traffic volumes that will be generated from the rehabilitated road and
4. The implementation of this project will serve as a springboard for various youths in the country, as it will result in the creation of many jobs in the project area during the construction period as well as during the operation and maintenance phase of the project.
Milupi said such demonstrates the UPND government’s conviction that the private sector is critical to the economic transformation agenda.
The Lusaka – Ndola dual carriageway will pass through Lusaka, Central and Copperbelt provinces.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by ministers, Chipoka Mulenga (commerce, trade and industry), Frank Tayali (transport and logistics) and Elisha Matambo (Copperbelt), Chushi Kasanda (information and media) and Paul Kabuswe (mines and minerals development).
UPND Secretary General Batuke Imenda.
Some chiefs from the Copperbelt and Central Provinces were also in attendance.
In a vote of thanks, chief Nkambo, who is chairperson of the Lamba Lima Royal Establishment, said the traditional leaders are happy with the development and the benefits which will be derived from the project.
