Streamlining cross-border travel with innovative road design

The Kasomeno-Mwenda Toll Road and Border Post Project spans 184 kilometers and aims to transform regional transportation by offering a world-class alternative route between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. This ambitious project addresses the persistent congestion at the Kasumbalesa border post while bolstering connectivity between the Haut-Katanga Province and other regions.

By fostering smoother trade routes and accommodating increasing economic activity, the project promises to enhance regional integration and unlock economic opportunities.
