The Road Development Agency (RDA) has earmarked the rehabilitation of the Great North road between Serenje and Nakonde.
RDA Senior Public Relations Manager Loyce Saili has told Qfm News in an interview that the agency is already lobbying for funds from government to carryout rehabilitation works on the road.
Ms Saili explains that the RDA has also carried out detailed engineering studies and design of the road.
She says the RDA is confident that government will provide the necessary funds for works on the road within the shortest period of time.
Ms Saili however could not disclose the amount needed to carry out the rehabilitation works.
Ms. Saili notes that the Serenje Nakonde road is vital for the transportation of heavy goods and services to the neighboring countries hence the need to carryout urgent repairs works on the road.
