Chitungwiza Road To Be Closed On 1 November As Motorists Face Diversions

Motorists travelling between Harare and Chitungwiza will face a temporary road closure on Sunday, 1 November 2026, as construction work continues along Chitungwiza Road, also known as Seke Road. The closure will affect traffic in both directions, with drivers required to use alternative routes for the day.

The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development announced the closure in a public notice issued on Friday, 30 October 2026. The work involves connecting ongoing road construction to the existing Manyame River Bridge.
