terminus of the Great North Road and the road connecting Lusaka to Livingstone (currently designated as the T1 road) was no-longer regarded as part of the route. So, the current Great North Road of Zambia is the section of the T2 road from Lusaka, through Kabwe, Serenje and Mpika, to Nakonde (the entire Zambian section of the Tanzam Highway). Route The Hell Run During the Rhodesian Bush War the border with Rhodesia was closed, disrupting the importation of goods and fuel to landlocked Zambia and the export of copper. The Great North Road was the only route by which goods and fuel could be imported, from the port of Dar es Salaam. Because of the bad condition of the road from Kapiri Mposhi to Tanzania and the many accidents that occurred the truck drivers called this stretch of the Great North Road "The Hell Run". Later, the Tazama Pipeline, commissioned in 1968, and the TAZARA Railway, opened in 1975, meant the use of the Great North Road for the transport of cargo destined for Zambia was much reduced.
