The Roads Authority (RA) says it will spend N$230 million to restore damaged roads in the four northern regions of Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Omusati and Kunene. 

The Roads Authority, the Road Fund Administration, and the Outapi Town Council have formalised their agreement to upgrade national and settlement roads in the Omusati Region by signing a Memorandum of Agreement.

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.

Key stakeholders involved in the Onderombapa-Aminuis to Aranos road project gathered to address challenges concerning the road's progress.

The objective is to complete the road and upgrade it to full bitumen standards by 2025.

The Roads Authority plans to expand some of its roads in the Zambezi region. 

Lutombi said this at the signing of a memorandum of agreement between the Katima Mulilo town council, Road Fund Administration and Roads Authority.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Roads Authority (RA), Conrad Lutombi, says the institution needs about N$15 billion to carry out its five-year integrated strategic business plan.

The Road Fund Administration and Roads Authority say they are determined to ensure that the Katima Mulilo roads and national roads leading to neighboring countries are rehabilitated to the required standard.

The two entities signed a cooperation agreement with municipalities and town councils recently.

The Ministry of Works and Transport has launched a digital information system to improve the monitoring of cross-border truck movement and conduct health checks.

The traffic congestion in Windhoek's Aoas interchange could be something of the past with the opening of the northern access roads to the Prosperita Industrial Area.

The Board of the Roads Authority has decided to extend the employment contract of Chief Executive Officer Conrad Lutombi for another three years.

The three-year extension is also to allow for the recruitment process to commence timely and facilitate a smooth handover once Lutombi retires.
