Kasumbalesa Car Park Construction

The construction of the Kasumbalesa Car Park was undertaken to address the critical issue of traffic congestion and improve border crossing efficiency at the busy Kasumbalesa Border Post between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Key objectives of the project included:

• Reducing traffic congestion: By providing dedicated parking spaces, the project aimed to alleviate traffic bottlenecks and minimize delays for truck drivers and other travelers.
• Improving border security: The well-defined car park enhanced security measures and facilitated better control of incoming and outgoing traffic.
• Facilitating trade: The improved infrastructure streamlined the movement of goods across the border, boosting regional trade and economic activity.
• Creating a safer environment: The car park provided a safer and more organized environment for travelers, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall border crossing experience.

The project involved the construction of a designated parking area with clear markings, signage, and potentially additional amenities such as lighting, security checkpoints, and rest areas for drivers.

The successful completion of the Kasumbalesa Car Park construction has contributed significantly to improving the efficiency and safety of border crossings, facilitating trade between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
