The Zimbabwe National Road Administration has warned at increased congestion, especially during peak hours following the temporary closure of lanes at Eskbank and Skyline tollgates along the Harare-Masvingo highway.
The closure of the lanes is meant to facilitate planned road works.
The closure, which will last until May 20, Zinara said, will give way to rehabilitation work by two contracted firms. It said:
“We would like to advise our valued clients of the temporary closure of lanes at Eskbank and Skyline Tollgates from 03 May 2024 to 20 May 2024.
“The closure is meant to make way for planned road works at the two sites by Exodus and Company and Tensor Systems, respectively.
“At Eskbank, we have closed northbound lanes while two southbound lanes have been closed at Skyline Tollgates
“Whilst we have put in place all the necessary measures to minimise disruption, we do anticipate some delays; especially during peak periods. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted.”
Zinara has in the past indicated that it had plans to upgrade six tollgates with the ZWL$14 billion it had set aside.
The tollgates included Skyline, situated about 18 kilometres along the Harare-Masvingo road, Dema (along Chitungwiza-Wedza highway), Esigodini (Bulawayo-Beitbridge road), Mupfurudzi (Bindura-Mt Darwin road), Lion’s Den (near Chinhoyi) and Flamingo (in Gweru).
