Zimbabwe is planning to build a second bridge across the Limpopo River to improve the flow of traffic at the Beitbridge Border Post.
This was said by the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa during Tuesday’s post-cabinet media briefing.
Mutsvangwa said the Cabinet has approved the proposed partnership between the government and River Bridge consortium to build the new bridge. She said:
Cabinet approved the proposed partnership between the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development and River Bridge Consortium on the design, build, operate and transfer of a new bridge at Beitbridge Border Post.
The construction of the new bridge will improve the flow of traffic at the border post as well as facilitate the implementation of separation of traffic at the point of crossing, in line with international best practice.
She also revealed that the government will enter into a partnership with Forbes Border Consortium on the design, build, operate and transfer project for a modernised Forbes Border Post.

Is this election rhetoric? Only last month the traffic had improved such that no need for further expansion. This rhetoric does not capture electorate. Roads are poor inside country. Hospitals poor. Free education promised not accomplished

The roads are beingupgraded everyday in Zimbabwe .
The is need to separate commercial cargo entrance from passenger entries, if you look closely you can see that the new border commercial terminal needs to be linked direct to the South African commercial side. National developmental issues must not be viewed politically.
Well explained!!
We need to prioritise issue here.Equip hospitals with standby generators to save lives.We need at least few working cancer machines.
Its election hour and remember the Delimitation report has also been played around with to maximize its rigging potential…
We don’t need new border, we need roads and hospitals to be improved
That’s true what the use of building the new board whilst the country doesn’t have medicines and equipments and hospitals ,also so the government must fix the country first before the built the bridge
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s craziness at its best,how can u be busy planning to build a bridge wen the country z on its knees economically?
These thieves are at it again. Just finding a way to steal money and fatten their pockets. Pitiless numbskulls
Wanna build a new bridge instead of buying new hospital equipment .
The bridge is not the problem, but the deliverate delays in processing traffic, both human and freight.
