Congo Pedicle road : ウィキペディア英語版 | Congo Pedicle road
The Congo Pedicle road (at one time referred to as the 'Zaire Pedicle road') crosses the Congolese territory of the Congo Pedicle and was constructed by and is maintained by Zambia to connect its Copperbelt and Luapula Provinces. Both the road and the territory may be referred to as ‘the Pedicle’. For thirty years, the Congo Pedicle road has been a major development issue in northern Zambia.〔 This article covers the road, for details of how the territory came into being, see Congo Pedicle. == The need for a crossing of the Pedicle == From its inception, the Pedicle was crossed by those travelling between the Luapula, Mweru and Bangweulu areas and the south, especially after the railway reached Ndola in 1906. But there were other routes. In the 19th Century the more travelled trade route from those areas had been to the south end of Lake Tanganyika, by boat up the lake to Ujiji, overland to Dar Es Salaam, and by boat to Zanzibar. Completion of the Dar es Salaam railway to Kigoma near Ujiji in 1914, coupled with a lake steamer service to Mpulungu near Abercorn made it even more viable.
