Zimbabwe Plans To Build Second Limpopo River Bridge
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.
