Challenges in accessing construction materials for tarring the Nyimba-Sinda stretch of the Great East Road have delayed works.
Road Development Agency RDA Regional Manager, Thomas Zimba has confirmed the development to Breeze News.
Mr. Zimba says that Condril Construction, the Company that is carrying out the works, is supposed to access the materials within the construction site but this has not been the case.
He says that the company only found the construction materials 19 kilometers away from the Nyimba-Sinda stretch in Chamilala area near Luangwa district.
Mr. Zimba says that because of this development, the company wanted to seek clarification on costs for the extra distance of haulage.
He says that the matter has been agreed that the contractor will meet the cost adding that works of putting bitumen are expected to start soon.
Eastern Province Permanent Secretary, Chanda Kasolo over the weekend expressed concern that the contractor working on this stretch was not working according to expectations.
