The World Bank will provide 100 million meticals for the rehabilitation of roads in the city of Beira, in Sofala, under the Local Urban Development Project.
The work is due to begin before the end of the year, according to the Beira City Council’s Councillor for Construction, Infrastructure and Urbanisation, who said that the launch of a public tender for selecting the contractor was being prepared.
Manhoca explained that the roads to be treated link the urban area to the peripheral neighbourhoods and are almost impassable during the rainy season.
The councilman also said that the local road network required extensive intervention, given the damage left by cyclone Idai and urban flooding.
