Vital upgrades to Beit Bridge road near completion

UPGRADES TO the N1 between Musina and the South African border post at Beit Bridge are nearing completion. The engineering and tarring has been done, as has all the road-line marking while crews are finishing the drainage gutters and Armco barriers. Construction has begun on the new weighbridge and toll gate approximately one kilometre from the border post. Final decisions on the tolling of users and the possibility of a road levy similar to Zimbabwe’s are still to be made. That’s the word from Brian Kalshoven of Linked Logistics which offers a unitised service for Zimbabwe importers through its various divisions. Regional Link liaises directly with suppliers of the goods and consolidates the loads onto the first available truck. Beitbridge Border Clearing Agency sees the consignments through the SA border and Professional Clearing does the import clearing. “Receipt of loads at the importer’s premises has never been swifter,” said Kalshoven.
