In a statement, the local authority said Julius Nyerere, Sam Nujoma, Samora Machel, Central Avenue and Lomagundi Road will be closed for the duration of the road works. It said:
A private company, Fossil Contracting Pvt Ltd is executing major road rehabilitation from the main Post Office in the city centre to Westgate Roundabout in the next few weeks/months under the National Harare/Chirundu Road Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project.
As a result, some roads in the city have/will be closed to allow the construction works to be conducted. Roads that will be intermittently affected are Julius Nyerere, Sam Nujoma, Samora Machel, Central Avenue and Lomagundi Road.
Currently, a part of Julius Nyerere up to the corner of Sam Nujoma and Central Avenue is closed due to construction work leading to heavy traffic congestion in the city centre.
The closure of the roads is to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians and contractorβs employees and to produce desired work on time.
The aforementioned roads shall be fully closed to traffic as and when required as the work progresses.
Residents are urged to avoid these roads as much as possible during the period they will be under construction.
