BENGUELA LINE PROGRESS
Posted on 01 March 2010
Rehabilitation of Caminhos de ferro de Benguela (CFB), Angola’s line from the Atlantic to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), proceeded during February on the section between Munhango (750km from Lobito) and Luau (1,289km). The China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation (CR-20) is employing some 300 Chinese technicians and 300 Angolans on the project, which began in Chicala. CR-20 official Zhang Li Jun told the Angolan News Agency Angop that rails will be in place as far as Luena (990km from Lobito) by May 2010, when the first train is expected to arrive.
