The Transport and Infrastructure Development Ministry says Solomon Mujuru Road will be temporarily closed to pave way for maintenance works.
The latest development is part of extensive road rehab works being implemented by government to improve the smooth flow of traffic and goods.
“The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development wishes to advise the motoring public of a temporary partial road closure of partial road closure of Solomon Mujuru (formerly Kirkman) from Richards turn off to Sanganayi Inn junction to facilitate rehabilitation works.
“The road will temporarily closed all day on Thursday 5 February 2026,”the government department said in a statement.
Motorists were strongly encouraged to use alternative routes and allow extra travel time for delays as well as to exercise patience, caution and obey all road traffic conditions.
“We appreciate your comparison during this essential infrastructure upgrade. The Ministry regrets any inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s cooperation and patience during this essential infrastructure upgrade,” the Ministry added.
Early this week, Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona led a delegation to assess some city roads ahead of plans to facelift roads in Harare. Suburbs visited include in Braeside, Arcadia, Craneborne, Hatfield, Waterfalls, Sunningdale, Houghton Park and Southerton, among other areas.
Following the assessment, Government will soon attend to these roads as some of them need to be constructed, while others need maintenance.
Reports indicate that this development comes after the Government collaborated with local authorities to address the state of roads across the country through the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme.
