Mozambique - Vanduzi-Changara Road Rehabilitation Project

The Vanduzi-Changara Road Rehabilitation Project is part of the rehabilitation, maintenance and the strengthening of activities undertaken by the Government of Mozambique in the first and second road and cabotage projects. The Vanduzi – Changara road is an important regional transit route for the countries of Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which use the port of Beira for their external trade. The overall gains made during the implementation of ROCs 1 and 2 will be consolidated. The output of the project will be a rehabilitated two-lane 270-km bitumen surfaced road with a 6.0 m wide carriageway and 1.0 m bitumen surface shoulders between Vanduzi and Changara. It will also contribute to the creation of a self-sufficient Road Authority capable of efficiently managing and maintaining a completely rehabilitated road network. The project comprises the following components: (a) construction works; (b) supervision consultancy services; (c) project audit services; and (d) institutional support to the National Road Administration (ANE). It will run for a period of 30 months at a total cost of UA 20.79 million.
