Govt Has Managed To Rehabilitate 161KMs Of Roads

The government has managed to rehabilitate 161 kilometres of tarred roads countrywide, the Sunday Mail reports. The rehabilitation has so far used up US $900 Million.

The Sunday Mail reports this progress:

 

  1. Government has completed laying asphalt over the 2,7-kilometre stretch of the Bindura-Mt Darwin-Mukumbura road (Bindura town).
  2. Work on a 16km stretch of the Mt Darwin to Mukumbura road is now 78 % (12,8 km) complete,
  3. 80 % has been covered on the planned 10km stretch of the St Albert- Dotito road.
  4. Government is halfway through laying asphalt on 10km of the Guruve-Kanyemba road
  5. Progress on the Bindura-Matepatepa road, on which 10km had also been earmarked for an asphalt overlay, has been relatively slow, with only 3,6km (36 %) having been done.
  6. Construction of the 10km Guyu-Manama road is 60 % complete,
  7. Widening of the Esigodini tollgate currently stands at 88 %.
  8. The 55km Ngundu-Tanganda road in Manicaland was recently completed, but construction of a 16km stretch from Murambinda to Birchenough Bridge road is only at 21% after 3,4km were worked on.
