The A4 is a highway, also known as the R1 Highway runs between Beitbridge and Harare. From Beitbridge it passes through Rutenga, Ngundu, Masvingo, Mvuma, Chivhu before reaching Harare.
As a national road it is known as the A4 Highway and as a regional road corridor it is known as the R1 Highway.Source: [Map 9.2 Road Transport Network of Zimbabwe.]
Together with the R3 Highway which runs from Harare to Chirundu, the R1 Highway is part of the North-South Corridor which is the Cairo-Cape Town Highway (Chirundu to Beitbridge 897 kilometres, 557 miles).
The Trans-African Highway 4 is the road network being developed with the collaboration of the African Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development Bank. Its length is about 10,228 kilometers connecting Cairo and Cape Town. This Zimbabwean route is shorter by 150 kilometres (93 mi) than the route from Zambia through Botswana to South Africa. The R1 Highway is therefore a very important link taking the Trans-African Highway from Harare to Beitbridge where it continues into South Africa as N1 Highway.
