The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development says the reconstruction and repairing of the Seke Road under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 (ERRP2) to provide efficiency for road users up to St Mary’s has commenced.
The Ministry said the road construction is around the Chinhamo area, Manyame Bridge approaches, Zororo and Chikwanha junctions, adding that these portions are in bad shape.
“Rehabilitation works on Seke road: Chinhamo, Manyame Bridge, Zororo Turn off and St Mary’s turn off has commenced. The contractor is Bitumen World,” statement read.
According to the ministry the road reconstruction started last year at Waverley Blankets to Maruta Shopping Centre in Hatfield.
The government said road construction is the key to the growth of the economy and aligns with the attainment of Vision 2030.
Seke Road, which stretches from Harare Central to Chitungwiza has been in bad shape for some time, it had become a death trap for both motorists and commuters.
The vision 2030 by President Mnangagwa encompasses infrastructure development and creating employment for the locals which the seke Road rehabilitation is offering.
The government has so far spent over $1 billion on road rehabilitation, gravelling and drainage structuring as part of the Second Republic’s ERRP2 launched by President Mnangagwa.
