Luangwa Bridge offer timely – Zambia Daily Mail: "THAT the Japanese government has pledged to construct a bridge across Luangwa River on the Great East Road to replace the current rather old one is an opportunity which Zambia should quickly seize, considering the advantages that will come along with the project.
Not only is the structure a vital access point within the country for the Eastern Province, it also provides a link to Mozambique, which is about two kilometres away, and Zimbabwe (about 60km from the bridge) and Malawi much farther.
It is 250km from the nearest city, Lusaka, and is located in a remote area, where its approaches have to contend with steep rugged slopes and deep ravines covered in forest or thick bush. Part of its history is that, since it was first built in 1932 through Beit Trust’s support, it twice suffered destruction as revenge by colonialists because of Zambia’s support for her neighbouring countries’ freedom fighters."
