“Seventy percent of this corridor has Zesa cables that have to be moved.
“It is the delay in the movement of the cables that is stalling progress,” he said.
Live cables exist on the intersection of the road with Dieppe Road, George Road, Harare Drive, St Patricks and near the entrance to the Harare International Airport.
Government has issued a directive that the road should be usable by end of July ahead of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation conference to be held in August in the resort town of Victoria Falls. Hundreds of tourists are expected in the country for the premier tourism event.
Mr Van Blerk said the stretch of the road from the airport up to Dieppe Road would be in use by July.
