Cuito – The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, authorized the rehabilitation of the section that connects the towns of Cunje, Catabola and Camacupa, a 71.80 kilometer stretch of National Road 250, in the province of Bié.
The information is contained in Presidential Order No. 308/23 of December 22, which authorizes the contract and formalizes the opening of the simplified contracting procedure, using material criteria, for the award of contracts.
According to the document, to which ANGOP had access today, an amount of 91 million 678 thousand 578 dollars and 16 cents was authorized for this project.
To inspect the works, the expenditure of one thousand 902 million 330 thousand 496 kwanzas and 74 cents was authorized.
According to the order, this road is of great importance for the southern and eastern corridor of the country, as it is the main connection with the Republic of Zambia.
With the completion of the works, the socioeconomic expansion of that region is expected, allowing access to schools, health centers and other State Local Administration services and the development of the mining and timber industry.
This road is in a severe state of degradation, putting road safety at risk, making it impossible to expand commercial exchanges in this region of the country.JEC/PLB/DOJ
