Mota-Engil has temporarily suspended construction works of the 83 kilometres Thyolo-Thekerani-Bangula road due to fuel scarcity, Zodiak Online has reported.
Spokesperson for Mota-Engil, Thomas Chafunya, has confirmed the development. He said the company will resume work once the fuel is available.
Once completed multi-billion kwacha road project is expected to ease transporting challenges of farm inputs and produce to and from various markets.
