The completed low-volume seal road infrastructure at Impalila Island, Zambezi Region, is likely to be inaugurated in April. 

The construction of the N$60 million, 25-kilometre project as well as the upgrading of a loading port, which started in 2022, will be completed by the end of March. 

During a site visit to the island on Thursday, Roads Authority CEO Conrad Lutombi said road-surfacing has been completed and road markings are now being completed, while signage is also completed.

Heavy storms in the Kavango West Region on Wednesday left the Tondoro Health Centre flooded.

The stormwater left the waiting, reception, pharmacy storage areas, and delivery room underwater.

According to the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the water originated from a water pool that had formed along the nearby gravel road due to inadequate stormwater drainage.

The Ministry says no major damage to medical equipment or clinical supplies occurred.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Road Authority, Conrad Lutombi, says despite the limited resources at their disposal, they are working tirelessly to ensure that most roads in the Omaheke Region receive much-needed attention.

Gobabis, Aminuis, and Aranos roads are all still under construction, and by December this year, phase one of the road will be officially inaugurated.

The procurement process is being finalised for a 145-kilometre road linking Gobabis and Talismanus in the Otjombinde Constituency before ground work is expected to begin next year.

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, has announced phase two of the upgrade on the Charlie Cutline Road, 70 kilometres west of Rundu.

The second phase is set to run for six months, covering at least 35 kilometres at a cost of N$29.8 million.

The road connects the Kavango East, Kavango West, Oshikoto, and Ohangwena regions.

The second phase of the upgrade has already started, and it has so far covered 10 kilometres.

The Windhoek-Okahandja Road Project is expected to be completed by May next year.

The construction of the road, which started in 2016, will allow easy access to and from Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and the Ovitoto roads.

Through this project, a bridge called Omakunde was also rehabilitated and upgraded this year.

The bridge will give access to the Osona Military Base and the Osona Village and mitigate congestion there.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Roads Authority (RA), Conrad Lutombi, says he is happy with the progress of the about N$2 billion project.
