That pot-holed death trap to Victoria Falls is actually getting paved for once. Masimba Holdings just opened a fresh five-kilometer slice of the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road in Umguza District. This specific patch sits near the eighty-five-kilometer peg heading toward Lupane and proves the piecemeal strategy is yielding results.
Eight different companies are currently scrapping over sections of this four-hundred-forty-kilometer beast. The state initially hired five crews, like Fossil Contracting and Tensor Systems but later added three more teams to speed up the approaches near the tourist hub.
Travelers previously endured a miserable suspension-wrecking ride on this trade route linking Zambia, Namibia, and Botswana. The upgrade aims to smooth out the journey for truckers and tourists heading to the Unesco World Heritage Site.
Engineer Xolani Ncube from Matabeleland North Provincial Roads confirmed that nearly forty-five kilometers are totally finished across the project. He noted that letting cars drive on new layers helps harden the surface before they paint the final lines.
Masimba project manager Blessing Nhau admitted that heavy downpours slowed their initial momentum. They missed an earlier goal but expect to finish the next five-kilometer segment shortly. He promised the crew would keep pushing to hit their fifty-one-kilometer target regardless of the wet season.
Permanent Secretary Joy Makumbe previously insisted that bad weather would not halt the operation. She indicated that teams shift focus to drainage or site prep when the skies open up. This effort falls under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme to fix national infrastructure.
