Under a build–operate–transfer (BOT) concession agreement—one of the first BOT schemes in Africa[1] —New Limpopo Bridge (Pvt) Ltd constructed the Alfred Beit Road Bridge over the Limpopo River between Musina, South Africa, and Beitbridge, Zimbabwe, in 1994.[2]
New Limpopo Bridge Ltd recovered costs by charging user tolls, and upon the expiry of the twenty-year BOT agreement in mid-2014, the Zimbabwean government took ownership of the bridge.[1]
