Japan to finance construction of Lilongwe dual carriage way
January 20, 2020 / Edith Chirwa
The Japanese Government will finance the long awaited construction of a dual carriage way from Lilongwe Hotel to Lali Lubani Road Junction.
CEO for Lilongwe City Council John Chome says in a statement that the Council in conjunction with the Ministry of Transport and Public Works and the Roads Authority have started the process to remove structures, trees and relocation of services such as water pipes, sewer lines, Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) poles, street light poles and telecommunication cables, that are in the path of the road expansion project.
The Government wants to turn the section of the M1 road in the city of Lilongwe into a dual carriage way in order to overcome the problem of traffic congestion in the Capital City.
The plan to construct of the dual carriage way comes after Government completed the construction of the Lilongwe City West By-Pass road, which was constructed with financing from the African Development Bank with a similar aim of reducing congestion in the City.
The Japanese Government also financed the expansion of the Chipembere Highway in Blantyre into a dual carriage way.

Rehabilitation:
The establishment of a stable and self-sustaining ecosystem, but not necessarily the one that existed before mining began. In many cases, complete restoration may be impossible, but successful remediation, reclamation, and rehabilitation can result in the timely establishment of a functional ecosystem.

Remediation:
The cleanup of the contaminated area to safe levels by removing or isolating contaminants. At mine sites, remediation often consists of isolating contaminated material in pre-existing tailings storage facilities, capping tailings and waste rock stockpiles with clean topsoil, and collecting and treating any contaminated mine water if necessary.
