Pretoria Road set to double in width
Pretoria Road is growing, to accommodate the increase in traffic over the past years.
Road works have recently started between the intersections with Robinson and Parker streets.
The road is being repaired and widened to double lanes in both directions.
Clr Gerrie Kriek (Ward 27) said traffic would be diverted through the surrounding roads and streets to accommodate motorists.
“We’re putting in double lanes, which will improve the traffic flow on Pretoria Road significantly,” he said.
“We also want to repair Pretoria Road between Robinson and Snake roads; we’re hoping to finish that this financial year.”
On June 3, before the road works had started, Kriek and Jacques Meiring (Gauteng Federal Council representative and Ward 27 branch chair) went along Pretoria Road, door-to-door, to inform businesses of the coming road works and the possible disruption it might cause.
Kriek said the current road works in Pretoria Road are expected to be finished in November.
