Modernisation works at the Kasumbalesa Border Post on the Copperbelt, under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) financing model, have gained significant momentum.
PPP Council Member Noel Nkhoma, who also serves as National Road Fund Agency (NRFA) Board Chairperson, today led a delegation to inspect the ongoing works at the border facility in Chililabombwe.
The Kasumbalesa Border Post is currently undergoing a $110 million modernisation project spearheaded by the Zmart Group of Companies. The initiative aims to transform the facility into a One-Stop Border Post (OSBP), streamlining cross-border operations and improving efficiency.
The project has reached approximately 40 percent completion.
Key components underway include the construction of a truck park with a capacity of 2,000 vehicles, a new terminal building, and supporting infrastructure designed to ease congestion and enhance traffic flow at one of the country’s busiest border crossings.
