The M3 road, also known partially as the Blantyre-Zomba road, is a road in Malawi.[1] The road stretches across the southern region of Malawi, tracing a north-south path that spans 236 kilometers.[2] Beginning in the bustling city of Blantyre, the route winds its way through the scenic landscape to Mangochi, before continuing onward to the Mozambican border at Chiponde, providing a connection between the two countries.[1]
The M3 road is included in the Malawi National Transport Master Plan.[3][4]
