The Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) ward councillors and the News have been inundated with queries regarding one particular road in Chancliff.
Councillor Lynette Zwankhuizen informed the public on Thursday, September 23 that she had received word that repairs to Clifford Road would begin soon.
Construction commenced on the morning of Monday, October 4 with municipal workers removing much of the existing damaged road surface.
“Chancliff residents in Mogale City and surrounding road users are advised that there will be a temporary prohibition of traffic in the area. The temporary road closure will be on Wren Street flowing into and all along Clifford Road to allow for road repairs. Both lanes will be closed. Damage was caused to the road by a water pipe burst and, due to repeated spurts, Mogale City had to re-direct funds from road maintenance to make provision for these emergency repairs. We advise road users to use alternative routes and exercise patience as the safety of motorists and pedestrians on our roads remain a priority,” according to a communiqué from the MCLM.
While roadworks continue, motorists will not be able to access Robert Broom Drive via Clifford Road or Wren Street. The only other road leading into the area is Anthony Road which links to Paardekraal Drive.
