Highway system

It is made up of 2 disconnected sections (the first section is from Nakonde to the Chitipa Border with Malawi[1][2] and the second section is from the Border with Malawi south of Chisenga, through Thendere and Muyombe, to the Border with Malawi at Katumbi[1][3][4]).

Route

The M14 is made up of two disconnected sections.

First Section

The M14 begins in Nakonde, (just north-east of the town centre and just south-west of the Tunduma Border with Tanzania) at a junction with the T2 Road (Great North Road; Tanzam Highway). It heads south-east for 85 kilometres, through the eastern part of Isoka District, to the Chitipa Border with Malawi, where it becomes the M9 Road of Malawi and passes through the town of Chitipa on the other side.[1][2] This marks the end of the first section.

Second Section

The second section begins at a border with Malawi approximately 15 kilometres south of the Malawian town of Chisenga (in the Chitipa District), near the Mafinga Hills. It heads southwards through Mafinga District for 100 kilometres, through the towns of Thendere (headquarters of Mafinga District; where it meets the D790 coming from Isoka) and Muyombe, to the Katumbi Border with Malawi, with the town of Katumbi on the other side.[1][3] This marks the end of the second section.


The in-between road connecting the Chitipa Border (the end of the first section) with Chisenga (the beginning of the second section) forms part of Malawi's M9 Road.
