The construction on Pretoria Road due to roadworks is complete, this according to Ekurhuleni metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
“The work at Pretoria Road (phase four of the 2018/19 financial year) is completed,” said Gadebe.
As previously reported by the City Times, construction work began on Pretoria Road in February 2017.
Numerous delays, which also affected businesses, primarily owing to a misunderstanding between the contractor and the sub-contractor, which resulted in work halted, were cited as reasons for the delays.

Business owners in the area also told the City Times that they expected the roadworks to take between five to six months to complete as per a letter they received.
This was, however, not the case as the roadworks were prolonged for over two years.
“The newly-constructed lanes were open for traffic on August 2 and the road markings and signs were completed on August 16,” concluded Gadebe.
