The Kazungula Bridge - Landmark African Infrastructure | 5+ YEAR Construction Timelapse!

Описание: On Monday, 10 May 2021, the Kazungula Bridge Project was officially commissioned by the Presidents of Botswana and Zambia, who applauded the African Development Bank for its work on this transformative project. The Construction Timelapse Company was tasked with capturing this mammoth construction project when work started, more than 6 years earlier.

The 923-meter bridge with two border facilities on either side, is not only a win for Botswana and Zambia, it also contributes to integration in the southern Africa region, and illustrates development cooperation. The bridge and One-Stop Border Posts will support trade and transport along the North-South Corridor, and indeed the Trans-African Highway on the Cape to Cairo route. The bridge also provides impetus to the recently launched African Continental Free Trade Area.

The project seeks to facilitate trade activities and the global competitiveness of Zambia and Botswana, improve the regional connectivity of the North-South corridor and contribute to improved regional integration of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

The project included the construction of two One-Stop Border Posts, one on each side of the Zambia/Botswana border. Construction activities were further complemented by soft activities such as technical assistance and capacity building to cover trade facilitation and the framework for One-Stop Border Post operations – critical for efficient operation and the realization of project benefits.
