SADC celebrates imminent Kazungula Bridge

Works and supply minister, Mike Mulongoti, said efforts have been stepped up to ensure that the pontoon is replaced with a permanent bridge without much delay to speed up the transportation of goods and passengers at the Zambezi River crossing that has a long and tortuous history.  

Mulongoti said initial feasibility studies undertaken in 2001 and 2006 have been redesigned and a contractor tasked to evaluate costs and other engineering requirements before the affected countries can decide on the financing and other requirements needed to flag off the work.
