Digital Road Survey Launched to Boost Infrastructure
Zimbabwe launched a digital road survey to assess the condition of its national road network, replacing manual methods. The system is being tested ahead of a nationwide rollout, which will evaluate sealed, gravel, and earth roads. This initiative aims to improve infrastructure planning and resource allocation. However, the survey's success hinges on reliable data collection and funding. With thousands of citizens crossing borders regularly, the survey also highlights the need for better road safety. The government faces pressure to deliver tangible results, as infrastructure deficits have long hampered economic growth.
