Officials are upgrading toll gates into bigger plazas, starting with the Norton location on the Harare Bulawayo Highway. Transport Minister Felix Mhona and ZINARA CEO Nkosinathi Ncube said the goal is to cut traffic delays and match regional standards, with sites like Dema and Skyline next for renovation. The Norton expansion added lanes to handle thousands of vehicles daily.
Motorists there reported much shorter wait times, praising the convenience. Authorities are pushing drivers to adopt the e-tag system for faster automated processing. Provincial Minister Marian Chombo noted the improved flow on the busy road, calling it a key investment for Mashonaland West.
The government frames this infrastructure push as part of a wider economic strategy. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has connected these road projects to broader sector gains in mining and social programs. The stated aim is to support national development goals through modernized transit corridors.
