HARARE — Through the expertise of Zimpapers photographer Wilson Kakurira in operating a drone, readers get a bird’s-eye view of the ongoing roadworks along Simon Mazorodze Road, where the previously closed section is now open to traffic.
The aerial photographs show construction work still underway, while vehicles move freely on the newly reopened stretch, easing congestion for motorists travelling in and out of the city centre.
Simon Mazorodze Road is part of the works being done under the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Road project. It forms the urban section of the project in Harare.
The project also includes upgrading the junctions at Remembrance Drive and Willowvale Road into interchanges, as well as rehabilitating and reinstating the existing Simon Mazorodze flyover.
For the road component, Government is targeting completion by the end of this year, 2026. For the structures — the two interchanges and the flyover — Government is looking at early 2028. By March 2028, all three structures will be completed.
