Construction of a diversion route under the Msasa (Jaggers) Interchange Project has officially begun, marking a significant milestone in the upgrading of one of Harare's busiest road junctions, the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) announced on Wednesday.
The works are focused at the intersection of Harare Drive and the Harare-Mutare Road, an area long plagued by traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours.
ZINARA said the commencement of the detour construction in early 2026 demonstrates the Government's commitment to modernising key road infrastructure, improving traffic flow, and enhancing road safety in alignment with the country's Vision 2030 development goals.
"Works have commenced on the construction of the diversion route (detour) under the Msasa (Jaggers) Interchange Construction Project, located at the junction of Harare Drive and Harare-Mutare Road. This milestone highlights Government's strong commitment to upgrading key road infrastructure, improving traffic efficiency, and enhancing road safety," the statement read.
The Msasa Interchange Project is expected to significantly reduce congestion along Harare's eastern corridor, a vital artery for commercial, industrial, and commuter traffic.
ZINARA urged motorists and pedestrians to observe all traffic signage and exercise caution while construction is underway to ensure safety and minimise disruptions.
The project forms part of broader efforts to modernise the country's road network and support economic growth through improved transport efficiency.
