The roads agency was investing R190 million on road resurfacing for the current financial year following a Visual Condition Index conducted last year to establish the condition of the city’s 13 428km of road network.
The resurfacing programme commenced last year with a total expenditure of R140 million, and roads in parts of the city, including Rosebank CBD and Midrand had already been resurfaced.
However, the roads agency clarified that not all roads in need of resurfacing would be addressed this year.
“If your road is still not on the road list, please rest assured [that] over the next three years, if your road needs resurfacing, it will be on future lists,” said the roads agency’s managing director Skhumbuzo Macozoma.

“My big plea… to the citizens of the city, is to please work with us. Now that we are sharing information with you, please hold us accountable and reprimand us if we don’t deliver on what we have committed. Please work with us so we are able to deliver on our mandate.”
