Numbered Routes in Zambia
In Zambia some roads are designated as numbered routes to help with navigation.[1][2][3] There is a nationwide numbering scheme consisting of Inter-Territorial roads, Territorial roads, District roads and Rural roads.[4][5][6][7]
Out of a total of 91,440 km of roads in Zambia (2001), 20,117 km were paved and 6,779 km were part of Inter-Territorial Roads or Territorial Roads. 71,323 km of roads were unpaved (Some of the unpaved highways are graded laterite roads).[8][9]
Every Inter-Territorial Road, together with many Territorial Roads and a few District Roads, are designated as Toll roads.[10] The tollgates are administered by the National Road Fund Agency (NRFA) and the Road Development Agency (RDA) together with concessionaires for some roads.[10]
In October 2022, at a symposium was dubbed “Sustainable infrastructure development using cement and concrete technologies", Road Development Agency (RDA), Chilanga Cement, Dangote Limited and Bari Zambia Limited signed an agreement to partner on the development of concrete roads across the country.[11]
