What happened
Two major road projects in Lilongwe are facing significant delays. These include the K13.5 billion Town Hall-Crossroads project and the Kaunda-Chendawaka Road project. The projects, which were supposed to be completed in May of this year, are now expected to be partially finished by December, with some work extending into the next year. The construction causes dust, congestion, blocked access, and vehicle damage along the commercial corridor.
