The new bridge and road were financed by German donor bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau and were the last missing link in the "Trans Caprivi Corridor" (today known as the Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Development Road). This 2500&nbsp;km long asphalt road now connects Zambia's Copperbelt with Namibia's sea port (Walvis Bay). As a direct result, the amount of road freight traffic has greatly increased.
