“We hope to complete the construction of the bridge by June of this year, but of course the bridge is divided in to three packages, package one is the main Bridge which has reached at 96 percent complete, Package two is the one stop border post on the Botswanan side which is at 99 percent complete, package three is the one stop border side on the Zambian side is over 85 percent,” Mr Ndlovu explained.
Mr Ndlovu said construction of the one boarder post on the Zambia side is expected to complete by July this year. 

He noted that after July all the three packages will be ready for use and all that will be remaining is for the Zambian and Botswana Government that funded the project to formalize the deal.
“I can safely say that after July all the three packages will be ready for use,” He said.
