Despite facing international economic sanctions and $10 billion in national debt, the government of Zimbabwe is seeking private financing for a $2.6-billion plan aimed at rehabilitating an estimated 40% of the country’s 80,000-kilometer road network.
The government’s plan calls for $985.9 million in improvements to primary, secondary and tertiary road networks, $924 million for widening to two lanes existing one-way trunk roads and $715 million of urban road rehabilitation.
