China Railway No.4 Engineering Group Co., Ltd (CREC4)'s 76km highway project 
connecting Angola's Quitexe city and Ambuila city was fully completed with 
ancillary constructions including highway markings and post signs all finished 
on March 24.

Undertaken by CREC4 First Engineering Co., Ltd, the highway project "PK74" 
crossed the mountainous areas of Uige province, and becomes the first grade 
highway between Quitexe and Ambuila, creating jobs while solving travel 
difficulties for locals.

It is noted that due to the mountainous landscape, the PK74 highway stretches 
and weaves its way through mountain tops with low trees and grasslands seen at 
both sides. Adding the mists all-year round, the highway is also credited for 
the beautiful scenery. 

The highway is estimated to cut travel time from Uige's bordering Zaire 
province to Luanda, Angola's capital by about four hours, while shorten the 
travel time between Zaire and the Uige provincial capitals by three hours, a 
big boost for economic and trade exchanges between the two provinces and great 
impetus for economic prosperity, according to the Chinese company.
