The upgrades will be carried out for a total distance of a 300km and will be carried out in phases. Work will commence in 2015. The road improvements will be carried out on the Nametil-Nampula city, Moma-Nametil city, Angoche-Moma, Monapo-Angoche and Angoche-Nametil sections of road.

In addition, Empresa de Desenvolvimento de Maputo Sul (EDMS) has unveiled its plan for the new Maputo/Catembe suspension bridge. The 680m bridge will link the south and north shores of Bay channel, with work due to start in 2015. The bridge will feature two 137m towers as well as two anchor blocks. One of the towers will be constructed over the Maputo bay waters. The other is likely to be built in the port of Maputo. The project will not exceed its original budget of $725 million, according to EDMS. China Road and Bridge is in charge of the Maputo Ring Road project as well as for the Maputo/Catembe bridge.

Mozambique bridge due to open

Mozambique’s Maputo-Catembe Bridge is due to open shortly and will become Africa’s longest suspension bridge. The 3km bridge will form part of the road connection between Maputo, Mozambique’s capital, and Catembe. The bridge is costing over US$700 million, with much of the necessary funding being provided by the Export Import Bank of China. The new bridge will improve transport and reduce journey times for drivers, who currently have to rely on ferries travelling between Maputo and Catembe.
