AN estimated US$3 billion is needed to rehabilitate key roads across Masvingo Province after they were extensively damaged by heavy rains being experienced in the country.
According to provincial roads engineer Robert Mukome preliminary calculations indicate the province will need the amount to improve trafficability in the short term and also upgrade the roads; and construction works are billed to start once resources are availed.
“At the moment, we have started with the Kawi-Neshuro road to improve its trafficability by attending to galleys and other sections that were damaged by rains. We have decided to take advantage of the impending rehabilitation programme of the highway to upgrade it to tarmac and we are waiting for the funds to be disbursed,” said Mukome.
