US$75 Million Bridge: Where’s the Money Going?

US$75 Million Bridge: Where’s the Money Going?

The proposed US$75 million bridge project across Runde River at Chilonga has raised eyebrows, given the history of bridge construction projects in Zimbabwe. Past projects have been marred by controversy, with large budgets yielding subpar results.

A bridge in Lupane, for instance, sparked outrage over its US$950,000 cost. Meanwhile, other bridge projects globally have had varying costs, such as the Tonto Basin bridge project in Arizona, valued at US$23 million. The question remains: will the Chilonga Bridge project justify its hefty price tag? What specific features or technologies will be included in the bridge to warrant such a high cost?

Given Zimbabwe’s history of bridge construction, it’s essential to scrutinize the US$75 million budget for the Chilonga Bridge project. Will this amount be used efficiently, or will it be another case of mismanagement? What percentage of the budget will go towards construction, and what percentage will be allocated for consulting fees, contingencies, and other expenses?

As the government considers mobilizing funds for the project, the public demands answers. Where will the US$75 million go? Will it be used for the bridge’s construction, or will it be siphoned off into other pockets? What measures will be put in place to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds? How will the government address potential corruption and ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget?

The Beitbridge-Harare Road project, with a preliminary budget of US$2.7 billion, raises further questions about the management of large infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe. Can the authorities ensure that the Chilonga Bridge project will be executed with transparency and efficiency? What lessons can be learned from past projects, and how will they be applied to the Chilonga Bridge project?

The people of Chikombedzi and Chiredzi Town deserve transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. Will the government provide regular updates on the project’s progress and finances? How will the project’s success be measured, and what criteria will be used to evaluate its impact on the local community?
