Major construction works will begin after the rainy season which is about to start, and will take three years to complete.
An $850 million road project connecting copper and cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo through Zambia to an East African port will cut more than 150 miles from the existing journey, according to the company building it.
Mauritius-based GED Africa, which is backed by Duna Aszfalt Zrt., a Hungarian construction firm, will build the road. Major construction works will begin after the rainy season that’s about to start, and will take three years to complete, GED said in reply to emailed questions on Tuesday. The project also includes one-stop border posts between Zambia and Congo and tolling plazas.
“Copper, cobalt, lithium and other minerals mined in the region are critical to renewable energy technology and a low carbon future,” GED said. “The green energy transition has increased demand exponentially and as production volumes increase, road modernization is critical.”
