“Gladiator Street was reconstructed from Fury Road to Albatross Street (north bound lane). Many services, mostly very old, had to be replaced and this delayed construction.
“The work on the road also came to a temporary halt due to the end of the contractor’s contract on December 31,” explained a metro spokesman.
She furthermore explained that the base level was primed and it was now ready to be tarred. Once new contractors are appointed the work will continue.

Kingfisher Street will be placed on the priority list for investigation and reconstruction.
