\nDuring an information session today themed, \u201cTrans Kalahari Corridor (TKC) shaping regional and international economic growth\u201d, the TKC Secretariat shared updates on the infrastructural development of the TKC and the current status of the logistics sector of Namibia.
\nSpeaking at the event, Minister of Works and Transport, John Motorwa, stated that the 1900km long TKC highway that spans across territories of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa is a strategic route of choice that provides linkages between the African continent, the Americas and the European market.
\nAlso speaking at the event and giving an overview on the infrastructural development along the TKC, the CEO of the Road Authority (RA), Conrad Lutombi, noted that current projects currently under development include: The Windhoek-Okahandja freeway, expected to be completed by 2022\/23 provided that the project kicks off for this Financial Year and the Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) freeway, which is noted to be in its final tender phase with a loan accrued from China.
\nIn addition, Lutombi announced new projects such as the Karibib \u2013 Usakos highway, which is still in need of funding. The other project is the Swakopmund – Walvis Bay freeway behind the dunes which is expected to be finalised by 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
