The T5 is a trunk road in Zambia. It connects Chingola in the Copperbelt Province with Solwezi and Mwinilunga in the North-Western Province.[1][2] The route extends to end at the Jimbe border post with Angola. It is the only other road after the M18 road that connects the towns of the North-Western and Copperbelt provinces and is currently the main route motorists use to reach Angola from Zambia. The section of the road from Chingola to Mutanda is a toll road (there is a tollgate just west of Chingola and a tollgate just west of Solwezi).[3]
It is an alternative route to the Beira-Lobito Highway (which passes through the southern part of DR Congo) when travelling from the Copperbelt Province of Zambia to the Moxico Province of Angola.
