Roadworks on Malibongwe Drive completed on time
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport is pleased to announce the completion of roadworks along the Malibongwe Drive (R512), in Fourways/Randburg, Johannesburg.
The roadworks took place between 22 July and 05 August 2018 following consultations with affected stakeholders, business and communities in the area. This was to take into consideration the concerns that the two-week road closure would have had on them.
“The roadworks necessitated the closure of R512’s northbound section with traffic accommodated on the southbound carriageway at Epsom Ave to River Road intersection. The 700m stretch in the northbound section between Epsom Avenue and Boundary Road was completely closed off to traffic."
“The Department conducted a milling-off exercise of the existing surface and replacing with new asphalt to improve the route’s ability to carry traffic at adequate speeds whilst also enhancing road safety over the long term,” the department’s spokesperson Melitah Madiba explained.
Meanwhile, the Department is also undertaking a number of provincial road maintenance projects to ensure extension of the networks’ lifespan, reducing travel times and improving overall road safety.
The Department takes this opportunity to thank all affected stakeholders for their patience and understanding during the period.
