Project Description
Johannesburg has an estimated 4 000 uncovered manholes, which the metropolitan municipality will cover through the manhole cover replacement project.  In the last two financial years, more than 200 deaths were reported as a result of uncovered manholes in the city.

The project forms part of the City of Johannesburg’s future network upgrades plan, which aims to improve the road infrastructure. 

The project will also include traffic accommodation, relocation of services, stormwater, roadworks, road signs and markings. Work will be carried out during off-peak times during the day to fast-track planned upgrades to minimise the impact on road users and pedestrians.

Value
The project is estimated to cost R1-million.

Duration
The project started in August and is expected to be completed by December 2017.

Latest Developments
