Beloved Citizens, This afternoon, we toured the stretch of the Ndola-Lusaka Dual Carriageway between Jacaranda Mall and the Ndola Teaching Hospital roundabout to assess the progress of the roadworks here in Ndola District, Copperbelt Province.
Not too long ago, the contractor had assured our people that the stretch between Jacaranda Mall and the Ndola Teaching Hospital roundabout would be completed by 31st October 2025. However, the completion date has been affected due to unforeseen circumstances, such as the rerouting of installations like water pipes and other challenges.
Following this afternoon’s tour, we instructed the contractor to complete the road from Jacaranda to the Ndola Teaching Hospital earlier than 25th November 2025. We further stated that, for the Copperbelt Provincial Administration, this is an emergency, as the congestion is affecting our citizens and hampering economic activities in the city, province, and entire country.
We also stressed that trucks with no business in Ndola, destined for Kasumbalesa and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), should use the Masangano Road. Additionally, we instructed the contractor to mobilize more equipment to speed up the work.
As Copperbelt Provincial Administration, our doors remain open should they face any challenges.
Hon. Elisha Matambo
Copperbelt Province Minister
