A4 road (Zimbabwe)

Pan African Highway Link The A4/R1 Highway together with the R3 Highway which runs from Harare to Chirundu forms the Chirundu-Beitbridge Regional Road Corridor, which is part of the North-South Corridor known as the Cape to Cairo Road (Chirundu to Beitbridge 897 kilometres, 557 miles). ==Rehabilitation==

The highway is set for rehabilitation as part of the ongoing national roads project and as an important link to the Trans-African Highway. The R1 is the most direct link between the capital cities of Harare and Pretoria, and together with the R3 provide Zambia access to the Indian Ocean ports. The road carries between 1,000 and 5,000 vehicles per day, with the heavier flows in the proximity of Harare. It is therefore proper to rehabilitate this road. The Harare-Beitbridge road is part of the trunk road network of Zimbabwe, which is a part of the North-South Corridor – one of the major arterial links in the regional road network. The road is the most direct link between the capital cities of Harare and Pretoria, and provides landlocked Zambia access to the Indian Ocean ports of Durban and Richards Bay in South Africa. ==Waypoints==
