The Mpumalanga Department of Public Works, Roads and Transport has announced that the rehabilitation of the deteriorated R36 between Machadodorp and Mashishing (formerly Lydenburg) in Mpumalanga will be conducted in the 2014/15 financial year.

“Much maintenance has been done on the road, but the large number of heavy trucks from various mines that use the road have contributed to the deterioration of the road," department spokesperson Dumisani Malamule saidon Monday.

"The road has now deteriorated to the point where patching is not a feasible option anymore, but rehabilitation is required.”

Malamulele said the rehabilitation will be done in the 2014/15 financial year.

Malamule said that government would ensure the upgrade and rehabilitation of the road.

“As we are approaching the end of the current financial year, all efforts are being made to ensure that rehabilitation of the road is done in the 2014/15 financial year.

“The MEC will pronounce the plans for the provincial road network during the 2014/15 Policy and Budget Speech,” Malamule said.
