The '''Great East Road''' is a major road in [[Zambia]] and the only highway linking its [[Eastern Province, Zambia|Eastern Province]] with the rest of the country. It is also the major link between Zambia and Malawi and between Zambia and northern Mozambique.<ref name="ITM">Terracarta: ''Zambia, 2nd edition'', International Travel Maps, Vancouver, Canada, 2000.</ref> However, the route does not carry as much traffic as many of the other regional arterial roads and between the main cities it serves, [[Lusaka]] and [[Chipata]], it passes through rural and wilderness areas. In Lusaka the road forms the main arterial road for the eastern suburbs. | The '''Great East Road''' is a major road in [[Zambia]] and the only highway linking its [[Eastern Province, Zambia|Eastern Province]] with the rest of the country.
