Namibia: Windhoek-Okahandja dual carriageway (A1) officially opened!

The Namibian Roads Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain Namibia's road sector, has officially opened the new Windhoek <> Okahandja dual carriageway (A1) on 01 November 2024. The N$2.8 billion road project is a major upgrade of the 71 km stretch between Windhoek and Okahandja and is expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time and improve road safety. The four-lane freeway connects Namibia to important trade routes, such as the east-west Trans Kalahari Highway and the north-south Windhoek-Luanda transport corridor.
The stretch of road between Windhoek and Okahandja, which has been reclassified from B1 to A1 in accordance with road classification standards, is the only A-rated road in Namibia.
