Paving works at the intersection of Louis le Grange and Jeppe Street has been completed successfully.

Jeanette Tshite, municipal spokesperson says the project marks a significant step in the municipality’s ongoing efforts to improve local road infrastructure and eliminate potholes across identified intersections throughout the Municipality.

“This recently completed upgrade is part of a targeted intervention to restore and maintain critical intersections that have experienced deterioration over time. As a Municipality, we have listened to the concerns of residents and road users regarding the poor state of our roads and frustrations caused by recurring potholes. In response, a structured and phased road rehabilitation programme, has been initiated to address these issues head-on, as part of Municipality’s broader plan to eliminate potholes across key intersections,” she continues.

“The intervention at Louis le Grange and Jeppe Street is one of the series of upgrades planned for other high-traffic intersections, which have been identified through assessments and community feedback. These locations will undergo similar paving, patching, and resurfacing work in the coming weeks and months to ensure long-term durability and safer roads for all.”

Tshite explains the municipality acknowledge that infrastructure projects such as this can cause temporary inconvenience, and they therefore extend their heartfelt appreciation to residents, motorists, and business owners for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during the construction period.

“Your continued support enables us to deliver on our mandate and improve service delivery across all Wards of the Municipality. The JB Marks Local Municipality remains committed to creating pothole-free, well-maintained, and safer roads, and we urge residents to continue reporting any infrastructure issues through appropriate Municipal channels. Working together, we can build the Municipality that reflects standards and aspirations of its people.”
