THE Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has established dedicated provincial hotlines to facilitate the immediate reporting and repair of urgent road defects across the country.
This initiative mandates Provincial Roads Engineers to receive direct reports from the public, aiming to streamline the maintenance of regional, primary, secondary and tertiary road networks.
In a statement released yesterday, the Ministry urged the public to report serious road defects requiring urgent attention within their respective provinces.
“We have established dedicated hotlines in every province. To ensure swift intervention, please contact the Provincial Roads Engineer in your province directly.
“For quick action, please send clear photos or videos along with the precise location,” reads part of the statement.
The ministry also characterised the public as “active partners”, emphasising that their vigilance is essential for the timely identification of potholes and structural failures.
“The Ministry calls on the public to become active partners in road maintenance by reporting potholes and urgent defects. Your vigilance is invaluable. “Prompt reports enable faster response, efficient resource allocation, and prevent minor issues from becoming hazards. As articulated by His Excellency, the President, Cde Dr ED Mnangagwa, our inclusive road efforts support the drive of leaving no one and no place behind.”
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to safe, reliable and well-maintained roads for all citizens. “Our ongoing, significant investment in rehabilitating and maintaining the national road network is central to our mandate,” reads the statement.
