MEC for Gauteng Roads and Transport, Jacob Mamabolo held a press briefing about Allandale Road.
Mamabolo explained that the reason for fixing the road on Waterfall Road to Greig Street was because they are fixing the water problem which causes the recurrence of potholes.
Mamabolo held a press briefing on 14 March at the Gautrain Offices in Midrand, addressing concerns raised by residents and stakeholders concerning the road upgrade.

He added that further delays on this will have a severe impact on the road users. In light of the negative impact of road maintenance on traffic flow, especially road closure, therefore the following measures will be set.
“A temporary bypass will be constructed to allow for the road maintenance to be executed, to accommodate traffic flow and avert to the closure of the road for the period of maintenance of the works.”
He said Century Property Development will work with the province and the appointed service provider, (DNMZ Consulting which will take on the project) by making land available to support the construction of the bypass and a site camp at no cost to taxpayers.
“Starting on 16 March the parties will immediately commence with the construction of the bypass whilst the road remains open to the users,” he said.
Furthermore, he will be committed to fast-tracking the resolution of all matters which have caused delays to the upgrade of the dual carriageway over the years and will give feedback on progress made by 30 April.
