The T6 road is a road in the Eastern Province of Zambia. It is a branch of the Great East Road and it is the primary road used to access Northern Mozambique from Zambia. It connects Katete with the Chanida Border with Mozambique.[3][4]
In October 2023, the Government of Zambia signed a Public–private partnership (concession) deal with Lutembwe Construction Company Limited for the reconstruction and maintenance of the entire 55 kilometres of road from Katete to the Mozambique border at Chanida.[1][2][5] It is expected to cost $79.8 million and the concession agreement is for a period of 25 years (up to 2048).[2][1] Plans include rehabilitating the entire road in the first 2 years and maintaining it thereafter, constructing a toll plaza on the road and constructing border post infrastructure at Chanida.[1][2][5]
