The first phase of construction upgrades for the Rosebank Public Transport Facility has reached practical completion, the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) reports.
Phase 2 of the project will begin pending the finalisation of building plan approvals.
The JDA, on behalf of the City of Johannesburg’s Transport Department, has been implementing the upgrade of the Rosebank Public Transport Facility.
The capacity of the transport facility has been outstripped in recent years by growing developments in the Rosebank node.
Upgrading the transport facility to accommodate Rosebank’s rapidly growing commuter base, the project is being undertaken in two phases.
The first phase, now at practical completion, started in May 2022.
The scope of works included, but was not limited to, the upgrading of sidewalks, stormwater infrastructure around the facility and an intersection upgrade.
The second phase will entail upgrading the existing office building, building food stalls, upgrading ablution facilities and extending the facility’s loading bay canopy.
“Rosebank commuters have been looking forward to the upgraded, new facility, which will be a valuable resource for people of all ages. We understand that the building plan approval is a setback, but we want to assure the community that we are working hard to get the project back on track,” JDA acting CEO Siyabonga Genu says.
