Zimbabwe starts fixing the broken highway between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. The government picked five companies from eight that wanted the job. The road stretches 435 kilometers and needs major repairs. Workers are moving to their work areas before the official start. Minister Felix Mhona will kick off the project Thursday at Gwayi.
The highway has been falling apart for years. Deep holes and cracked edges make driving dangerous. Tourists and truck drivers have complained about the poor conditions. The road carries thousands of people each year to the famous waterfalls. It also connects Zimbabwe to nearby countries like Zambia and Botswana.
Minister Richard Moyo says the project will take ten months. Companies will work on different sections at the same time. The repairs will make travel faster and safer for everyone. Local businesses expect more visitors once the road improves. Construction will create temporary jobs for people living nearby.
