Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has resumed full operations after receiving its allocated fuel budget, restoring its fleet to full operational capacity following a period of service disruptions.

The announcement comes after the JRA fleet was temporarily unable to operate because of fuel-related operational challenges, resulting in delays to road maintenance services across the city.

MMC for Transport Kenny Kunene announced on June 25, that the funding had been secured, allowing the agency to resolve its operational constraints.

According to the city, 100% of the JRA fleet is now fully operational and all service delivery duties have resumed across Johannesburg.

The restored fleet will enable the agency to return to full-scale road resurfacing, pothole repairs, traffic signal repairs and maintenance, storm water infrastructure cleaning, as well as other proactive and reactive road infrastructure work.

“We would like to thank the residents of Johannesburg for their patience and understanding during the recent operational downtime,” said Kunene.

Residents have been encouraged to continue reporting road-related issues through the city’s official customer service channels as maintenance operations return to full capacity.
