In Niassa, road users are called upon to exercise prudent driving to deal with saturation of land and road closures caused by heavy rain.

According to local authorities, inter-district road communication is made difficult at this time of year due to the degradation of the road platform in several sections.

Following this reality, the national road administration in Niassa expects the cooperation of motorists and motorcyclists in observing basic traffic rules and preferably in daylight.

The delegate of the National Road Administration in Niassa, Oreste Zezela understands that defensive driving can contribute to the reduction of accidents.

Currently, the road communication between the capital city Lichinga and the district of Mavago is interrupted by the collapse of a bridge over the Luatize River, and the same is happening with the district of Majune due to the collapse this Thursday of the bridge over the Litolanje on the N14.

Oreste Zezela reaffirmed that in both cases actions are underway to restore road traffic within days through the installation of a metal bridge over the Luatize River and the opening of a bypass in the section Lichinga -Majune.

The source said that the institution is prepared for emergency interventions in cases of road cuts.
