'This is quite a big undertaking, with a number of roads being worked on concurrently throughout Strand and Nomzamo. Proactive maintenance work is not only necessary for ensuring the safety of road users and overall user experience of motorists, but also in prolonging the lifespan of our public assets.
I am particularly pleased to report that this project has taken on board 15 local community members, who will gain meaningful work experience and skills development through the process.
On behalf of the City, I would like to thank all road users, businesses and residents for their patience while this work is under way.
While no additional congestion is expected, we ask that road users please exercise caution during this period by lowering their speed, paying attention to road signs, being alert in and around the roadworks area, looking out for uneven road surfaces and being mindful of the construction workers,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
