The tollgate just outside Harare city limits between the 19,5km and 20,5km pegs along the Harare-Nyamapanda Road, has been moved north between the 40km and 41km pegs on the highway and now no longer interferes with traffic that is essentially intra-urban within the greater Harare area.

The relocation, now called the Juru tollgate, was gazetted in Statutory Instrument 217 of 2023 by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development Felix Mhona.

The relocation considered several issues including traffic patterns, road safety and the overall convenience of road users.

In a public notice giving more details, the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) said that the new site would be known as Juru tollgate and would use a temporary structure ahead of the installation of the planned toll plaza.

Zinara head of corporate communications and marketing Mrs Tsungie Manyeza said the decision to relocate the Shamva-turnoff tollgate to the Juru site was aligned with the organisation’s quest to improve traffic movement at tollgates and was expected to have a positive impact in smooth traffic flow.

“Zinara assures road users that every effort has been made to ensure a seamless transition to the new site, and we remain committed to providing efficient and reliable services to the public,” said Mrs Manyeza.
