  • Design of a Link Road to Connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive in Harare, Zimbabwe
    Design of a Link Road to Connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive in Harare, Zimbabwe Joan R. Shumba1, Samson Shumba2, Liliana D. Vassileva3 , Namatirai Cheure4 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Zimbabwe, P.O Box MP167 Mount Pleasant, Harare Abstract. The project focussed on the design of a link road to connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive and Kirkman Road in Harare, Zimbabwe. The proposed link road is approximately 17 km long. The link road will alleviate traffic flowing into Harare by linking the missing portion of Harare drive a ring road to a major highway. A manual traffic count was carried out to determine the percentage of heavy vehicles in transit on the highway. The results were compared to historic traffic counts. The analysis was carried out using QGIS and AchiCAD softwares, Microsoft excel and AutoCAD. The geometric design of the link road and intersection was carried out based on guidelines for Southern Africa roads. The link road and grade separated intersection with a design life of 20 years was designed. It is recommended that traffic flow be diverted and extra caution be taken during the construction. Keywords: Highways, Traffic congestion, Ring Road, Grade Separated Intersection and Geometric Design. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Major cities throughout Zimbabwe are experiencing considerable increases in population, consequently the traffic demand on each city’s transportation infrastructure has also increased. The rapid increase in car ownership contributes to the unmanageable flows of traffic thereby reducing the efficiency of the road network.

The actual international border crossing is via the Beitbridge structure over the Limpopo river. On the South African side the main route is via the N1 roadway, at the border post facility routes dovetails for processing by authorities to accommodate cars, buses, pedestrians and trucks. Once through the processing at the border post, routes bottle neck to cross the bridge structure and again dovetails at the Zimbabwean side for processing by authorities similar to the aforementioned transport modalities. Finally to bottleneck again onto the A6 (later splitting to A6 and A4) roadway through the town of Beitbridge on the Zimbabwean side for further transit. The rail line runs parallel but separate to the motor vehicle crossing infrastructure. Various agencies conduct operations at the border post, mainly Department of Home Affair (immigration), South African Police Services (border police), Department of Health (port health), South African Revenue Services (customs and excise), Department of Agriculture.

  • Border Economies Linkages to the Development of Trade Corridors and Regional Value Chains in Sadc
    DISCUSSION PAPER | NOVEMBER 2018 BORDER ECONOMIES LINKAGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE CORRIDORS AND REGIONAL VALUE CHAINS IN SADC Anna Ngarachu, Christopher Wood, Heinrich Krogman, Elisha Tshuma, Dale Mudenda & Catherine Grant Makokera ABOUT GEGAFRICA The Global Economic Governance (GEG) Africa programme is a policy research and stakeholder engagement programme aimed at strengthening the influence of African coalitions at global economic governance forums such as the G20, BRICS, World Trade Organization and World Bank, among others, in order to bring about pro-poor policy outcomes. The second phase of the programme started in March 2016 and will be implemented over a period of three years until March 2019. The programme is expected to help create an international system of global economic governance that works better for the poor in Africa through: • undertaking substantial research into critical policy areas and helping South African policymakers to prepare policy papers for the South African government to present at global economic governance platforms; • ensuring that African views are considered, knowledge is shared and a shared perspective is developed through systematic engage- ment with African governments, regional organisations, think tanks, academic institutions, business organisations and civil society forums; and • disseminating and communicating research and policy briefs to a wider audience via mass media and digital channels in order to create an informed and active policy community on the continent. The programme will be focused on three thematic areas: development finance for infrastructure; trade and regional integration; and tax and transparency. GEGAFRICA is funded by the UK Department for International Development and managed by a consortium consisting of DNA Economics, the South African Institute of International Affairs and Tutwa Consulting.
