Mozambique - Roads Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project

The project seeks to rehabilitate two paved roads to a standard width of 7.0 meters and 1.5-meter sealed shoulders on either side. The RRUP comprises Upgrading/rehabilitation of 299 km of two paved roads of a width of 7.0-meter carriageway and 1.5-meter shoulders on either side. Strategically, the upgrading and rehabilitation of these two roads would contribute to the attainment of the objectives of the ROADS-3 project. The Mussacam-Calomue road (EN 223) fulfils the integration of Mozambican road to that of Malawi, while the rehabilitation of the Chokwe-Macarretane-Lagoa Nova road (EN 205/256) is being done in the context of recent flooding. Through the rehabilitation/upgrading of these rural roads, the project is expected to impact positively on the rural community through the generation of employment during project implementation and ensuing maintenance activities, improved accessibility to markets, schools, health centers and rural service centers.
