International companies bid for Zimbabwe Highway project

Obert Mpofu Transport minister yesterday disclosed that his offices had, in the past few days, received several tenders from international companies interested in dualising the Harare-Beitbridge Highway following the recent withdrawal of a court challenge which had stalled the project.

Mpofu said they would soon identify a suitable developer to expedite the Dualisation of the road which stalled a few years ago after Zimhighways won the tender, but failed to carry out the project.

When government invited fresh tenders, the company filed a court challenge, further delaying the Dualisation programme.
