                                The Government of Malawi signed a grant agreement for the capacity improvement of
part of the M1 road from Cross roads round about up to Kanengo junction with
Chendawaka which is 10 kilometers long. The road will be constructed to dual
carriageway. Each lane will be 3.4m wide with a cycle track of 1.5 and a pedestrian track
of 1.5m. Street lighting will be in the middle of the road in the 1500 mm wide median
arching in two directions.
                                
                                
                                Reduction of Traffic Congestion is expected upon completion of the project. The
road will complement the capacity of the interchange
