THE construction of the Simon Mazorodze – Willowvale Slip Lane at the proposed Rothmans Interchange, aimed at managing congestion at the intersection, is progressing well, with the contractor on site and carrying out the works in Harare.
The Government recently announced that preparatory work for the construction of two additional interchanges at the junctions of Simon Mazorodze and Willowvale roads, and Simon Mazorodze Road and Remembrance Drive had started, amid revelations that four more such structures are in the pipeline to ease congestion, reduce carnage and modernise the country’s infrastructure.
The interchanges will be at the Mabvuku junction; Harare Drive-Mutare Road; Harare Drive-Liberation Legacy Way; Nemakonde Way-Harare Drive; Sam Nujoma-Harare Drive; Westgate Traffic Circle; Kuwadzana Traffic Circle and Churchill/Liberation Legacy Way.
This is also part of wider efforts to improve the country’s infrastructure.
In a statement, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development said, “Steady progress continues on the construction of the Simon Mazorodze–Willowvale Slip Lane at the Rothmans Interchange construction project, a key infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow, enhancing road safety and delivering a more efficient road transport network.”
