Road gets a glow-up, still not enough pavement to cry over

They fixed another chunk of that awful road to Victoria Falls. A new 5.4-kilometer section near Cross Jotsholo on the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Highway is finally done, bringing the total opened to 37.5 kilometers. The transport ministry confirmed the progress, noting that Bitumen World has finished the most at 20.9 kilometers, followed by Fossil Contracting with 6.2 kilometers, and Bitumen Resources handling this latest Jotsholo stretch. Other contractors like Masimba Construction and Tensor Systems have not opened any segments yet.

The overall project remains massive, with 402.9 kilometers still under construction out of the total 440-kilometer route. This highway has been notoriously rough for ages, and this small update, while positive, does little to change the jarring reality of the full drive.
