Minister Albert Nguluvhe said the project cuts travel distances by over 150 kilometers for some communities, and it connects districts to economic hubs like border posts, irrigation schemes, and tourist spots. Four contractors are working on 15 kilometers of resealing plus another 10-kilometer stretch. Deputy Minister Joshua Sacco mentioned the road is part of Vision 2030 goals to build better connectivity across the country. The route links Gwanda, Beitbridge, Insiza, and Masvingo to Maphisa while unlocking opportunities in mining, agriculture, and tourism. Provincial Roads Engineer Mangisi Nkomo confirmed the work is rolling alongside other major rehab projects like the Plumtree-Maitengwe Road and the Beitbridge-Bulawayo Highway. [/QUOTE]
