Litigation stalls Beitbridge - Harare Highway dualisation

The dualisation of the of the Beitbridge-Harare Highway has been stalled by a lawsuit which is pending in court, but the government is committed to the project which can be implemented over four to five years at an estimated cost of $1, 3 billion, a Cabinet minister has said.

Mpofu noted that the high volume of haulage trucks has led to carriage deterioration, adding that the road of late has been characterized by head-on collisions and side-swipes.

Zinara acting chief executive officer Moses Juma told business leaders in Bulawayo last week on Thursday that the project was part of the long-term plans to dualise the Harare-Bulawayo Highway.
