Second phase of road tolling in Zambia has been launched in a bid to increase revenue collection for road maintenance and construction Road Development in Zambia(RDA) has announced.. The project is being undertaken under the National Road Tolling Programme (NRTP).
Road tolling in Zambia was first introduced in 1983 with the construction of toll booths on various sites. However, this plan was abandoned and the toll gates vandalized except for a few.

All messages concerning different aspects of the road tolling programme in Zambia will be done through print and electronic media.
More jobs will be created for young people during the construction phase adding to the 48 people who have already been employed.
