Restoration of Nampula to Nacala-Porto Connection After Storm Damage

The land connection between Nampula and Nacala-Porto has been restored via a road diversion due to damage from Tropical Storm Jude. This announcement was made by Williamo Tuzine, helping to resume economic activities and improve transportation between affected districts.

The connection between Nampula and Nacala-Porto, as well as with coastal districts such as the Island of Mozambique, Mossuril, and Memba, has been successfully reinstated following a diversion that was implemented in the Anchilo area. This measure was necessary due to the damage caused by Tropical Storm Jude when National Road Number One (N1) was rendered impassable.

Williamo Tuzine, the spokesperson for the Provincial Executive Council, announced this positive development after a recent government meeting. The newly opened detour facilitates the movement of people and vehicles, thus aiding in the gradual resumption of economic activities in the region.

Additionally, traffic between the districts of Rapale and Mecubúri, which had also been disrupted, has resumed. Prior road closures had led to considerable congestion, affecting vehicles that were transporting essential goods, including fuel, and contributing to significant delays for residents and businesses alike.

In summary, the restoration of the road connection between Nampula and Nacala-Porto, along with the reopening of other affected routes, signifies a crucial step towards revitalizing economic activity and ensuring the mobility of residents in the region. The swift response by local authorities illustrates their commitment to addressing the impacts of Tropical Storm Jude and facilitating commercial transportation.
