The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona, said that the rehabilitation of the Harare-Chirundu road will cost more than half a million United States dollars.
Responding to questions from the media during the launch of the project in Harare earlier this week, Mhona said the project should be completed within the next 18 months at a cost of over US$550 million. He said, as quoted by <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/over-us550-million-for-harare-chirundu-highway-rehabilitation-mhona/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>:
<blockquote>
Those who remember, for the Harare-Chirundu road, we were talking of over US$550 million for the rehabilitation. 
This is what we are working with. As we progress, we will continue updating and briefing the electorate.
</blockquote>
Mhona said that not only the Harare-Chirundu highway was undergoing rehabilitation, but all roads countrywide needed attention.
He said the Beitbridge-Masvingo-Harare highway is 99% complete where five local construction companies got contracts to work the busiest highway in the country known as R1.
The companies which are working on the road are Masimba Construction (Pvt) Ltd, Tensor System, Exodus, Fossil and Bitumen.

Harare-Chirundu Highway Rehabilitation To Cost Over US$550 Million - Mhona

Zimbabwe’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona, has said delays in rehabilitating the country’s road network were due to budget limitations. 
Mhona assured Parliament that all stalled road projects have now been resumed nationwide. He highlighted the significance of good roads for economic growth, noting that a well-developed road system leads to a stronger economy. He affirmed the government’s commitment to utilising domestic funds to enhance the country’s infrastructure. He said: 
<blockquote>
We are against sanctions and we are using our resources, contrary to other jurisdictions where roads are rehabilitated using the funds from World Bank and IMF.
</blockquote>
In response to Minister Mhona’s statement, Collins Bajila, the Emakhandeni-Luveve legislator, raised concerns about the government’s plan to rehabilitate roads under local authorities. Mhona explained that although the government is working on these roads, once the rehabilitation is complete, they will be handed back to the respective councils.
The government accuses the councils of neglecting the road networks within cities. Referring to the Road Act, subsection 5 (4), the government states that if a local authority fails to fulfil its responsibilities, the Ministry of Transport will step in and take over the task of rehabilitating the road. Mhona said:
<blockquote>
The road will eventually be submitted back to the local authority. Indeed, we rehabilitate such roads and hand them over for maintenance to the municipal authorities.
That is why you see most urban roads being refurbished. When we take over, it means that someone has failed to do their job.
We appreciate the fact that the roads that were alluded to by the Hon. Members are going to be rehabilitated and we will take them back to the municipal authorities.
</blockquote>
The government has periodically halted payments to its contractors in an attempt to stabilise the depreciating Zimbabwe dollar and combat hyperinflation. However, this decision has caused delays in project completion. Treasury argues that <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2022/08/11/govt-halts-payments-to-its-contractors-to-curb-inflation/">contractors have been submitting invoices using parallel market rates,</a> which has led to instability in the foreign exchange market and inflated prices for goods and services.

"Delays In Road Rehabilitation Due To Budget Constraints," Says Transport Minister

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has condemned local authorities for shoddy work on some road rehabilitation projects that are undertaken using funds disbursed by ZINARA.
In a statement, ZINARA also chided local authorities for overcommitting or signing contracts that are way above the resources allocated. ZINARA said:
<blockquote>
Another area of concern noted by ZINARA in 2022 was the low quality of work by some local authorities.
There is a need for local authorities contractors to ensure sustainable quality work because the resources that ZINARA has are limited compared to the work that needs to be done on our roads.
Analysis of the 2022 disbursement statistical data, ZINARA noted that some local authorities overcommitted and entered contracts that were way above their allocations.
Going forward, ZINARA urges the local authorities to budget within their allocations and ensure timely acquittals of disbursed funds.
This is prudentially important in terms of value preservation of their allocated funds.
</blockquote>
ZINARA has unveiled ZWL$93 billion towards road rehabilitation and maintenance this year while over ZWL$30 billion was disbursed to local authorities last year.
According to the latest funding disbursement report issued by ZINARA on Sunday, 22 January 2023, Harare Metropolitan Province received the highest funding of $1.73 billion in 2022.
Matabeleland region, which includes Bulawayo and sister provinces of Matabeleland North and South, got a combined total of $1.24 billion.
Matabeleland North Province received $422.9 million, with Victoria Falls receiving the highest amount of $120.8 million for road rehabilitation and maintenance under the urban councils’ category in the province.
Umguza Rural District Council got the lion’s share among rural local authorities in Mat’ North Province. It received $70.9 million. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/zinara-blasts-councils-over-shoddy-jobs/">Chronicle</a>

ZINARA Condemns Local Authorities Over Poor Workmanship On Road Projects

The government requires over ZWL$700 billion to complete its outstanding major road construction and rehabilitation countrywide.
This was said by Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona while addressing journalists on Thursday on the sidelines of an annual strategic planning meeting held in Bulawayo. He said:
<blockquote>
The ministry requires over $700 billion to fund the operations of the ministry. However, whenever one is doing a budget there is a resource and what can be afforded just like in any household set up and as a ministry, we got $125 billion as a resource and what can be accommodated.
To be honest, we cannot do everything at once, so we are stuck because our wish list contradicts what is available.
What we have in the pot determines what we get as a ministry, that is why we are calling on innovation and progressive ways of supporting the Treasury.
</blockquote>
Mhona said financial challenges coupled with rains have proved a major setback for the road rehabilitation exercise.
He however said significant progress has been made on the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Road and 350km had been completed by the end of October 2022. Said Mhona:
<blockquote>
Linking this road is the Beitbridge Border Post, which has been upgraded and modernised under a Public Private Partnership with the Zim Borders Consortium. The aim of the project was to improve border efficiency.
With the completion of the project, the turnaround time at the border has improved to below three hours from an average of 20 hours.
</blockquote>
He added that the ministry has so far managed to rehabilitate 13 109km of the roads across the country. | <a href="https://cite.org.zw/govt-requires-700-billion-for-roads-rehab/">CITE</a>
