PEMBI BRIDGE COMMISSIONING TO BOOST ROAD TRANSPORT IN ZIMBABWE

The commissioning of Pembi bridge is set to boost the road transport system in Zimbabwe. The US$1.8 million Pembi Bridge will replace the old low lying single-carriage bridge constructed around 1974 that was making road transport very difficult and effectively unfriendly to investment.

Speaking during the commissioning, Vice President Kembo Mohadi, said completion of this bridge is a notable impact on the accessibility of this area and enhance the safety of road users.

According to Mohadi, modern and appropriate infrastructure remains a key enabler to accelerated economic growth and development.

Meanwhile, the bridge was constructed between August 2017 and September 2019. It is expected to link various districts in the province as well as other areas in the country.

Now with the bridge completed, Mashonaland Central is set to become the centre of economic activities following the commissioning.
