The construction of a 21-kilometer freeway road between Windhoek and the Hosea Kutako International Airport has commenced and notable progress has been made at the Dordabis interchange.

The project now in its third phase is funded by the Chinese government to the tune of over N$1 billion. 

The construction includes a dual carriage freeway, three interchanges, two bridges, and drainage structures.

Improved road infrastructure enables connectivity and safe mobility, as well as contributes to economic development and growth.

The government has invested N$2 billion towards the rehabilitation of the rail between Walvis Bay and Usakos.

This was revealed by the Executive Director of the Ministry of Works and Transport, Esther Kaapanda, during her visit to the railway tracks in Erongo Region.

There has been a public outcry over the dilapidated rail infrastructure across the country.

Kaapanda said the upgrading of the railway currently underway is done to reduce derailments as well as upgrade the rail network to SADC standards.
