The south-western section of the M3 road is the first section of a shortcut that exists between the Luapula and Copperbelt provinces of Zambia, as the area in-between the 2 provinces is part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the Chembe Bridge, the M3 becomes the Congo Pedicle road to the Copperbelt, which is a road maintained by Zambia on Congolese Territory.
