Luangwa River
A road connecting Kapiri Mposhi and eventually Lusaka with Tanzania (the Tanzam Highway; the T2 Route) runs through the province, passing Mpika and Isoka (and bypassing Chinsali) (this road is known as the Great North Road). In Mpika, another major road branches north to Kasama and Lake Tanganyika (the M1 Route). Chama is connected with Lusaka by a different road which follows the Luangwa River and passes Petauke and Nyimba, connecting to the Great East Road.
