The City of Harare will temporarily close the Harare–Bulawayo Road to motorists on Monday.
The closure will affect traffic passing the National Sports Stadium during the Warriors’ international match.
Zimbabwe will host DR Congo at the stadium, bringing thousands of football fans into the area.
Authorities have introduced the traffic restrictions to manage congestion around the stadium.
The measures will also help maintain order before, during and after the match.
Road closure and traffic restrictions
Motorists travelling along the Harare–Bulawayo Road should prepare for significant disruptions.
The affected section will be closed to ordinary motorists passing the National Sports Stadium.
However, the restrictions will mainly target traffic movements around the stadium.
Drivers should therefore consider alternative routes when planning their journeys on Monday.
The closure is expected to reduce congestion caused by arriving and departing supporters.
Meanwhile, motorists should follow instructions from police and traffic officials stationed around the area.
Officials are also expected to manage traffic flows as supporters make their way into the stadium.
Warriors match brings increased traffic
The Warriors’ meeting with DR Congo is expected to attract a large crowd.
As a result, traffic volumes around the National Sports Stadium could increase sharply.
The authorities are therefore urging motorists to plan their journeys in advance.
Fans travelling to the match should also allow extra time for their journeys.
In addition, motorists should avoid unnecessary trips through the affected area.
The road closure forms part of broader measures to ensure smooth movement around the stadium.
Police and city authorities will oversee traffic management during the matchday period.
The Warriors will be hoping for strong home support against their Congolese opponents.
For motorists, however, the biggest concern will be navigating Harare during the planned closure.
Drivers should therefore check traffic updates before leaving home on Monday.
They should also use alternative routes where possible to avoid delays near the stadium.
