Namibia: Road betterment works begin on critical route connecting Khaudum National Park
The Namibian Roads Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain Namibia's road sector, has announced that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, today (21 November 2024) officiated the groundbreaking for phase 1 of the road betterment works on District Road 3472 (Ndiyona to Djaradjara) in the Kavango East Region.
District Road 3472 is a vital artery connecting the Khaudum National Park to Trunk Road 0804 (Rundu-Ndivundu) on the northern side and Shikerete Village and Tsumkwe Settlement on the southern side. It also links numerous schools and clinics in the Kavango East region. The project will be constructed over 12 months.
Khaudum National Park is one of Namibia's most remote and rugged wildlife destinations. Located in the northeastern part of the country, near the border with Botswana, the National Park covers an area of approximately 3,842 square kilometers and is part of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA).
