• Gravelling in Mzuzu North Gravelling Works in Mzuzu North Constituency R-CDF

Contract Sum: MWK 877,103,500.00 (877.1 Million Kwacha)
The site hand over ceremonies were presided over by Members of Parliament for Mzuzu City South East Constituency and Mzuzu City North Constituency, Honorable William Kaweche and Honorable Franco Mafumu Mkandawire respectively.
The two thanked the government for the timely projects which they said will improve mobility in the City.
They also emphasized on quality delivery of works reflecting the city status.
His Worship Mayor Chiyembekezo Glyn Moses urged block leaders, ward development committees and other local structures to support implementation of the projects.
Works on the Mzuzu Botanic Road were halted in 2023 due to contractual issues emanating from the high cost of living which nearly tripled the contractual sum. A greater section of the road has been in bad shape.
The Risbon –Vigwagwa Road will not only connect the Modern Multi Billion Kwacha Flea market project under construction but, also open up to serious business all year round.
The Hilltop Road is another relief to the people as it was almost impassable during the rainy season.
The Boardman Road Stretches from Clock tower Roundabout – St Andrews CCAP- Vigwagwa market while the St Denis Road stretches from MRA Offices to Mzuzu old Town.
The road gravelling works targets strategic areas in Lupaso, Nkhorongo, Luwinga, and Zolozolo townships.
These are some of the key project sites the Council has handed over to contractors having done the same some three weeks ago where it handed over 16 other infrastructure projects under the reformed CDF.
