This was revealed by the Governor of the Khomas Region, Laura McLeod-Katjirua, during her State of the Region address this week where she highlighted the status of ongoing and completed projects.

This includes the completed Windhoek-Hosea Kutako International Airport Phase 1 upgrade to dual carriageway freeway standards, including access to Prosperita, which created 373 jobs.

“Windhoek-Hosea Kutako International Airport, Phase 1, which is the 12km Southern link to the roadblock extension is completed and it created employment for 115 people,” she said.

Phase 2A of the Windhoek-Hosea Kutako International Airport project, which includes dual carriageway road works, road bridges, split-level interchanges, river bridges, and drainage structures, created 254 jobs.

McLeod-Katjirua said Phase 2B, covering a new freeway between Windhoek and the airport, employed 365 people.

“It will start at SV 26.0 to the west of the main road, MR33 to Dordabis and continues to the east of the airport where it joins the existing B6, to Seeis and Gobabis over a length of approximately 21.3km,” she explained.

Meanwhile, the Windhoek-Okahandja section 4A extension, upgrading to dual carriageway standards, employed 310 people.

“The Auas road dual carriageway project commenced on 25 July 2024, is funded by the Government of Namibia through the Road Fund Administration, with a total cost of approximately N$138 million. Phase 1 will cost N$30 million, and Phase 2 will cost N$108 million,” she said

Additionally, the MR49 Windhoek-Kupferberg construction and MR47 low-volume seal upgrades are funded by the Road Fund Administration, with ongoing work on a 26km stretch and an upcoming 5 km construction, respectively.

Governor McLeod-Katjirua emphasised that all mentioned projects are fully funded by the government, underscoring the state’s commitment to infrastructure development and job creation in the Khomas Region.
