Mozambique: Lower Messalo area becomes passable again after emergency works

Road traffic on the Macomia/Awasse section of National Road Number 380 (N380) has been restored following the completion of emergency works in the lower Messalo River area and on the Mapwete River, near the locality of Miangaleua, in Muidumbe district, Cabo Delgado province. The works, completed a few days ago, were carried out along a stretch of around three kilometres and lasted fifteen days.

The section had been damaged as a result of the recent rains, compromising the connection between the northern and southern regions of the province. With the completion of the works, an improvement in traffic conditions is expected, as well as a reduction in the risk of traffic interruptions along this important road corridor.
