Government has constructed four bridges on the Mpika- Nabwalya road in Mpika District, Muchinga Province.
Mpika District Commissioner (DC), Sampa Muswema said he is happy with works done so far and has urged Namukale Construction Company to complete the remaining two bridges within the stipulated time.
Mr Muswema said the company was engaged to undertake the project and has so far constructed four out of the six bridges.
“The four bridges that have been done so far include Lucenene, Besa, Kambala and Lukalashi, this means only two bridges are left to be constructed,” said Mr. Muswema.
Mr. Muswena said the company is currently engaged by government to work on a 44 kilometers stretch of Mpika-Nabwalya road including bridges and other crossing points.
And Namukale Construction Company Site Manager, Peter Kakomo says the company will speed up works and the bridges will be completed by the end of this year.
Mr. Kakomo said works on the bridges were supposed to be completed in July last year but were extended due to some additional works that needed to be done.
“I am optimistic that works will be completed by the end of this year, so far works are going well,” said Mr. Kakomo.
Meanwhile, Luchenene resident Priston Musuti has thanked government for the developmental projects being implemented in the area.
Mr. Musuti stated that residents used to have challenges accessing other areas due to bad roads and lack of bridges.
WHEN THE NEW GOVERNMENT COMES IN THEY’LL MAKE SURE THESE PROMISES ARE CARRIED OUT ON TIME
THE PF GOVERNMENT IS OVERLOADED WITH UNFOREFILLED PROMISES WHICH WILL COME TO A STOP NOW
The song of the winning party is loud and clear. We leave no one behind.
IT’S OUR HOPE THAT THIS WAS UNDER GOOD CIVIL ENGINEERS AND THAT IT WILL NOT BE WASHED AWAY DURIN THE COMING RAIN SEASONS AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
Is the picture above one of the bridges? U bring pictures here without a caption. So wht do readers make of them? 4 bridges in one place when others who need just one can’t get them! Wht about the Mpika-Nabwalya road? Hw close to completion is it?
This process of constructing durable bridges should be on going through out the country. No serous govt should claim credit if worth is name. People are the ones who speak out with high praises and leaders just node their hears in appreciation.
Four bridges just in Mpika. What about the rest of Zambia
where people are desperate for good roads to transport and
sell their farm produce. Oh! I forgot this is where the founding
father of PF ( Late Michael Sata ) comes from.
This is good. PF has done extremely well. With such courage of building big infrastructures with little resources…this will make me vote for them again
VERYFUULISH REPORTING. THIS IS NOT EVEN ONE OF THE BRIDGES IN MPIKA. I THINK THIS BRIDGE IS IN WESTERN PROVINCE.
