Editor's note: an important recent ministerial statement on the 'Road Rehabilitation and Construction in Zambia' by the Transport Minister Yamfwa Mukanga MP. This is an helpful and unfiltered statement on where road construction is at present. We have made some minor editorial changes to enhance readability.
The Road Development Agency (RDA) was established by the Public Roads Act No.12 of 2002 with the following specific functions: "To provide for the care, maintenance and construction of public roads in Zambia; to regulate maximum weights permissible for transport on roads; and to provide for matters connected with and incidental to the foregoing"
The RDA commenced operations in 2006 and it is responsible for the care and maintenance of the entire classified road network of 67,67lkm of roads but has however, concentrated its efforts on a Core Road Network (CRN) of 40,454km. The Core Road Network, as defined by Road Sector Investment Programme of 2003 (RoadSlP II), is the minimum network required to spur economic development in to Zambia.
