PLANS are at an advanced stage to construct another interchange at the Seke Road-Delport Road junction, which is aimed at easing congestion.
In a statement, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development confirmed the developments.
“An interchange is soon to be constructed at the Seke Road-Delport Road junction. The project includes constructing Delport Road from Mabvuku (off Mutare Road),” the ministry said.
This development comes after the construction of the Mabvuku Interchange is progressing well, with the contractor now making major works on an abutment, which is the substructure at the end of a bridge to support the superstructure.
The project continues to move steadily forward as the Government continue to commit to modernising and expanding the national road network.
This project, situated along the busy Harare–Mutare Highway, is designed to ease congestion and improve safety on one of Zimbabwe’s key road corridors.
The Harare–Mutare Highway carries heavy commuter and commercial traffic from Mabvuku, Tafara and surrounding suburbs into the city centre, while also linking Harare to Mutare and Mozambique.
At peak hours, the section is notorious for congestion and accidents. Once complete, the Mabvuku Interchange is expected to provide lasting relief to road users.
The Mabvuku Interchange follows closely on the heels of President Mnangagwa’s commissioning of the Trabablas Traffic Interchange, which seamlessly links Simon Mazorodze, High Glen, and Chitungwiza Roads.
Similar to the Trabablas project, the Mabvuku Interchange is part of a nationwide initiative to ease congestion, reduce road carnage and modernise transport systems in line with the country’s Vision 2030.
