Maputo’s main trunk roads run in a radial pattern to the city’s center, and the absence of a circular route results in heavy traffic congestion. Many of the drains in the network become blocked by silt accumulation, causing frequent flooding during the rainy season that rapidly wears out the roads' surfaces. The project will thus carry out the following:

  • rehabilitation/construction of some 42.5 km of roads in the city center and suburban districts
  • construction of sidewalks and a bus parking area
  • repair of storm-water drains and rehabilitation of 23 bus stations
Improved traffic flow within the city will enhance road safety and reduce transport costs, ultimately helping to boost socio-economic development.
