The much anticipated R140 Million rehabilitation project of the M1, Oxford and Federation bridges have reached completion.
The structural rehabilitation project was launched in November 2015 and combined with the other M1 double decker rehabilitation project is estimated at R 210 million and was carried out by the Johannesburg Roads Agency.
Many had adjusted their travel times to accommodate the traffic deviations and road closures.
The works on the project included the replacement of the 3 km storm water drainage system between Rockridge bridge and Federation road bridge, as well as on Oxford and Federation roads below the freeway and re- construction of the 2 km dual carriageway between Rockridge and Federation roads.
