Major upgrades on Solomon Mahlangu Drive resume in Mamelodi
Major upgrades on Solomon Mahlangu Drive have resumed in Mamelodi the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport said on Thursday.
The upgrades resumed with the multi-million rand rehabilitation and upgrading project of Road K69 (Solomon Mahlangu drive - Phase 1) the department said.
The R300-million project – fully funded by the Department – was officially launched by MEC for Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure, Jacob Mamabolo, on Wednesday.
Addressing the community members, the MEC explained that the project will involve the dualisation of the existing carriageway to increase its capacity, improve safety and accessibility for existing and future developments along the K69.
The project is expected to be completed in August 2021.
"Once completed, this project will have a great impact on the economy of Mamelodi. It will make the movement of people and goods much easier and will drastically reduce congestion," said Mamabolo.
The project is expected to reduce congestion and travel times between Mamelodi and the N4.
Road K69 stretches almost 12 km in the north easterly direction from Lynwood to Mamelodi. The first phase of the project will cover about 9 km, stretching from the R104 (Bronkhorstspruit road) to the K54 in Mamelodi.
"The road infrastructure is the life blood for any economy. If we are serious about the township economy, investments such as this are a necessity," said Mamabolo.
