Trans-Oranje Corridor
The Trans-Oranje Corridor (previously known as the Southern Extension) is
a tarred road linking the Ports of Walvis Bay and Lüderitz with the Northern
Cape Province of South Africa. The Corridor is complemented by a railway
line from the Port of Lüderitz extending southwards to the Northern Cape
Province via Upington. Construction on the 40-km railway line extension
between Aus and Lüderitz is currently under way and is scheduled to be
completed in 2010, thus providing a rail link from the Port of Lüderitz to
the Corridor.
