    2.3.6 Zambia Border Crossing of Kazungula Overview Daily Capacity Customs Clearance Other Relevant Information Overview Zambian Revenue Authority and Immigration staff are present at this crossing. It is a large office that is constantly congested with truck traffic. Access is good on tarmac roads from the north and south. From the North the nearest major center is Mongu. The eastern roads to Mongu are overall in good condition , even though the tarmac is damaged and has cracked in some places. Access from Livingstone is good and the road is in good condition. Pontoon operations are still operational though the World Bank funded bridge is now completed and awaits commissioning during the month of May 2021.

    Presentation to the UN (OHRLLS) – 18th - th 20 M a y 2021 Developing Bankable Transport Infrastructure Projects: Case Studies, Experiences and Learning Materials for LLDCs and Transit Countries Presenter: Glory K. Jonga [email protected] 1 Case Studies 2 Kazungula Bridge Project: Botswana & Zambia • The North-South Corridor (NSC) is a key trade route in Africa. It is approximately 2800km long stretching from the mining region of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the port city of Durban in South Africa. Along the way it passes though the Copperbelt (Zambia’s industrial heartland) and Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. With spill over effects, the corridor further integrates Namibia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Eswatini. • The NSC is primarily road-based and the Kazungula crossing point at the Zambezi River at a confluence between Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia was a critical bottleneck that prevented the efficient flow of goods due to the lack of a bridge across the river(a ferry was being used instead). • The development of a Bridge at the crossing was an opportunity to increase the capacity and speed of transit and also introduce an alternative mobility mode: railway transportation. • The Kazungula Bridge Project (KBP) is a multi-national project on the NSC within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region and part of a corridor-long infrastructure improvement programme. The project was identified as a key project under SADC’s regional development plan and is spearheaded by the governments of Botswana and Zambia. 3 Kazungula Bridge Project: Botswana & Zambia 4 Kazungula Bridge • The project scope includes a bridge linking Botswana and Zambia over the Zambezi River to replace the existing ferry and juxtaposed one-stop border facilities at Kazungula.
