Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 85071, member: 27"] Five contractors, hundreds of kilometers down, and the Harare–Beitbridge Highway is basically staring at the finish line. The big picture, fast [LIST] [*]Roughly 540 kilometers of the Harare–Beitbridge Highway are already open to traffic. [*]Only 43 kilometers are still left before the whole stretch is done. [*]At this stage, most drivers are already feeling the upgrade in real time. [/LIST] Why this road matters politically [LIST] [*]This highway rehab sits near the top of the legacy list for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. [*]It runs alongside the overhaul of the Beitbridge Border Post. [*]The goal is simple: fewer bottlenecks, less chaos, smoother regional movement. [/LIST] Who actually did the work [LIST] [*]Five local firms were handed the job. [*]Tensor Systems [*]Masimba Holdings [*]Fossil Contracting [*]Exodus & Company [*]Bitumen World [/LIST] What the project actually involves [LIST] [*]This is not just a resurfacing job. [*]The scope covers dualisation, upgrades, and tolling. [*]Toll fees are meant to pay for the rehab and keep future maintenance alive. [/LIST] How the kilometers break down [LIST] [*]Bitumen World knocked out 128.8 kilometers. [*]Fossil Contracting delivered 122.6 kilometers. [*]Masimba Holdings handled 100 kilometers. [*]Exodus & Company finished 90.6 kilometers. [*]Tensor Systems completed 90 kilometers. [*]A 7.2-kilometer trial section also made the cut. [/LIST] Where that leaves things [LIST] [*]Add it all up, and 539.2 kilometers are already open. [*]Traffic is flowing on nearly the entire route. [*]What remains is a relatively short final push to close out one of Zimbabwe’s biggest road projects. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
