Most of the above is not to be taken as wholly accurate but it will indeed be a challenge that man or machine cannot posibly achieve.....if no road is there to carry it all in? i feel it will be early next year before the road will be ready for sealing the final stretches. Im sure the road gangs will not want excessive heavy vehicles upsetting their road base preparations.

Muddy ground and poor existing infrastructure in the DRC are meaningless folks. Recent history shows that if the Chinese want it they will work hard and fast to achieve their objectives. Nothing will get in their way. There is a solution to every engineering and logistical problem. Time will tell. Happy to be proven wrong.
