Planning this lane

The N4 to Komatipoort is a good road and the Lebombo crossing, while busy, is well developed. Maputo's port also makes this lane a genuine alternative to Durban for certain hinterland trades. Cargo often continues beyond Maputo, but the port and Matola industrial belt account for most of the destination volume.
