Kazungula Bridge rakes in millions for BURS

The revenues come as more long-haul traffic uses the new bridge built as an economic corridor connecting southern SADC to the northern parts of the region and beyond. The 923-metre bridge is a one-stop border post that has significantly reduced the amount of time cross-border traffic takes to pass between Botswana and Zambia, over the Zambezi River.

Commissioner General Jeanette Makgolo said the BURS anticipates collecting around P2.5 million in toll fees per month on average, helping to boost the country’s revenues.
