Zimbabwe officials are cracking down on truck drivers who keep wrecking freshly fixed roads by hauling way more weight than they should. Engineer Joy Makumbe from Transport and Infrastructure Development says the Vehicle Inspectorate Department can hit violators with serious fines, and the government wants private companies to build weighbridges on major routes to catch people breaking the rules.
The Bulawayo to Victoria Falls Highway project is still moving along, with all eight contractors getting stuff done. Fossil Contracting finished about half of their piece, and the whole thing is supposed to create jobs for local communities.
Makumbe told everyone to stop being reckless because the road upgrades cost serious money, and overloaded trucks are just destroying everything the government is trying to fix.
