Some road projects in Zimbabwe are getting close to done. Officials say a few key upgrades are moving along, aiming to cut down drive times and boost local economies. Work on the Mucheke River Bridge, sometimes called the Chevron Bridge, in Masvingo is just about finished. Over in Matabeleland South, construction on the Gwanda-Maphisa road is happening, with priming work currently going on.
The government says these builds are part of spreading infrastructure money around more evenly. That Gwanda route is supposed to help a lot for the 2026 Independence Day events planned for the region. Once finished, it should make trips to spots like the ARDA Antelope Estate or the Matobo district way faster. It would also create a better link for places like Beitbridge and Masvingo to reach Maphisa.
Other big jobs are also in progress. Fixing up the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls highway is underway, with a small portion already open for traffic. Several contractors are handling different parts of that long overhaul. These road efforts are a main part of the current economic plan, supposedly meant to help areas that got ignored before.
