The construction of a new fire station which is part of the US$300 million Beitbridge modernisation project is nearing completion, an official has said.
The fire station, an animal quarantine, sewer oxidation dam, a landfill, roads upgrading, construction of 220 staff houses, and a 11,4 megalitres water reservoir are some of the out-of-port facilities under construction.
The Government and the Zimborders Consortium are implementing the massive infrastructure development initiative on a 17-and-half-year Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) concession.
Zimborders Consortium’s General Manager, Mr Nqobile Ncube said the fire station will address the perennial fire and emergences rescue services deficiencies in the border town.
He said the project will be completed in the next five months.
