All the four ongoing road projects in the heart of the City of Lilongwe have gained momentum as they are in their final stage.
The projects which are Malawi government financed capacity improvement of Kenyatta Road to six lane road, capacity improvement of Mzimba Street to dual carriage, the China Aid financed dualisation of the Airport Road from Cross Roads to Kanengo and JICA financed dualisation of Lilongwe bridge.
Speaking when he inspected the four projects Minister of Transport and Public Works Hon. Jacob Hara MP. expressed satisfaction with the momentum.
The Minister said that the speed which the contractors have put on the works will enable them to deliver the projects in time.
Hon Hara was however quick to say that the Ministry will not in any way allow quality to be compromised by either desire to have the new roads the soonest or the cost.
He elaborated that because the government is not compromising on quality it allowed the price adjustment of the projects due to the rise in price of material.
Meanwhile the Kenyatta Road is expected to be ready by December 2024 while the Mzimba Street will be ready this August.
