The Beitbridge Rural District Council (RDC) has started road rehabilitation programs to repair and upgrade infrastructure damaged by torrential rains. The road rehabilitation program is expected to improve connectivity and enhance service delivery across the district.
Mr Peter Ncube the council’s chief executive officer has confirmed that work is currently underway on the Sentinel-Pingwe Road, a critical route connecting Beitbridge town with Shashe in Ward 8.
“We have started repairing damaged roads and, in some areas, we will be creating new links to improve issues of service delivery,” said Mr. Ncube.
For roads in Beitbridge East, the RDC has engaged Bitumen World, a contractor known for its infrastructure projects. Mr. Ncube noted that tendering processes are complete, and preparations are being finalized before the contractor begins operations.
Several key roads have been identified for rehabilitation, including those connecting Beitbridge town to Zezani, Hwunga, Dumba, Chiredzi, Shashe, and Nhwali.
