Government plans to build a small traffic interchange in Bulawayo like the famous one in Harare. Transport Minister Felix Mhona shared this news during parliament meetings about road progress in southern regions. The new interchange will help reduce traffic jams and boost business growth in the area. Engineers are studying where to place the interchange but no final location has been chosen. Officials want Bulawayo to have the same quality roads as the capital city.

Five contractors started work on the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Highway with detours for traffic. Each contractor handles about 50 kilometers of road and must maintain grass cutting and repairs. The project takes 10 months to finish using a step-by-step approach. Workers will move traffic back to completed sections as they progress forward. Government awarded individual road sections to different companies for better accountability.

The highway connects Zimbabwe to Zambia, Botswana and Namibia through thousands of travelers yearly. Years of potholes and narrow lanes created problems for tourists and truck drivers. President Mnangagwa prioritized road repairs through emergency programs that fixed over 50,000 kilometers since 2021. Construction will also begin on the Kwekwe-Nkayi-Lupane Road to shorten travel times. These projects support the country's development goals through Vision 2030.
