Major highway project for Swaziland in the pipeline

MBABANE – Has Swaziland’s 15-year building spree come to an end? Only one major project remains as a national “must do” project, but it’s a big one – a bypass road around the central commercial town Manzini that will enable Gauteng to Maputo traffic to travel through Swaziland without encountering urban encumbrances that come from passing through towns. Early this year the Mbabane bypass highway opened for traffic. “There will be a bypass highway around Manzini. It is needed for the Sikhupe Airport under construction east of town. The only question is routing,” a highly placed government source told FTW on condition that the information is used in deep background.
