Kempton Park, Tembisa: Expect ongoing construction
Contractors to pack up until next year.
CONTINUED traffic restrictions can be expected on portions of Reverend RTJ Namane Drive in Makulong and Andrew Mapheto Drive from Reverend RTJ Namane Drive to Chloorkop/Allandale Road through Tembisa.
The traffic restrictions are the result of the construction of the Harambee Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system specifically – and the more extensive Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN).

“We are not expecting any additional IRPTN project-related traffic restrictions on any other roads other than the current traffic restrictions,” said Aurecon civil technician, Bongi Nkosi.
Ongoing works in Tembisa include the construction of various pavement layers throughout several sections as well as the construction of substructures for a number of BRT stations. Construction of the coloured concrete busways in the northern areas has also commenced.
Ongoing construction work in Kempton Park includes the development of non-motorised transport (NMT) walkways along south-bound lanes on Oranjerivier Drive, along with median paving and the removal of old road signs.
Works on north-bound lanes include the development of NMT walkways, V-drains between Bergrivier and Oranjerivier drives, the marking of roads and also median paving. The upgrading of the traffic signals along Zuurfontein Road between Oranjerivier Road and Chloorkop Road are also underway.
The contractors will be suspending construction activities during the builder’s year-end break and will recommence construction in early 2016.
