Joy as small Groutville community gets proper road at R7.4-million
The upgrade is expected to be complete within 6 months
Residents of Ten Acre 2, a small Groutville community, will within months have the luxury of commuting on a proper road for the first time.
This after KwaDukuza mayor Lindi Nhaca presided over a sod-turning ceremony last Thursday, officially launching the upgrade of a key 800-metre stretch of road
The R7.4-million project will entail an asphalt surfaced road, 8 speed humps, sidewalks and the laying of storm water pipes.
The upgrade is expected to be complete within 6 months and will be handled by NAP Holdings, a civil engineering and general building construction company.
Accompanying the mayor to the ceremony was the deputy mayor Thulani Nthuli in his capacity as chairperson of technical infrastructure, council speaker Dolly Govender and chief whip Humphrey Mbatha.
Members of the infrastructure and technical portfolio committee also attended.
The first phase of the project will create 15 jobs, with workers sourced from the Groutville ward 12 community.
