FORBES Border Post’s traffic handling capacity has been affected due to the ongoing installation works for the automatic high-rapid speed boom barrier, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has said.
The delays in clearing traffic have resulted in long queues and congestion extending from the border post into the nearby city, Mutare.
Forbes Border Post is the main crossing point between Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
In a notice to the public, ZIMRA said the installation works are expected to be completed in 10 days.
“ZIMRA wishes to advise all travelers, importers, exporters, transporters, clearing agents and the general public that due to the ongoing installation works for the automatic high-rapid speed boom barrier at Forbes Border Post, the border post’s traffic handling capacity has been significantly impacted upon.
“This has resulted in the closure of the east-bound traffic lane, reduction of working and parking space. This reduction in capacity has resulted in some congestion and delays in the effective passage of all traffic, both out-bound and in-bound. These delays are projected to last for the next 10 days during which period the installation works are expected to be completed,” reads the statement.
ZIMRA said the project is necessary in creating efficient and effective traffic management for all stakeholders.
