Ward 90 councillor Martin Williams with Sell Raolane of Imvula Construction as they start to resurface parts of Jan Smuts Avenue.
Jan Smuts Avenue users will have noticed the influx of large construction vehicles on the road.
This is due to a large-scale resurfacing project of the busy Johannesburg road, Randburg Sun reports.

Contractors of Imvula Construction have started to tar the well-known avenue. Operations began on April 9 at the corner Argyle and Jan Smuts avenues in Craighall Park.
Due to the high traffic volumes, construction will now commence at night-time starting at about 7.30pm during the week.
One of the construction vehicles used to repair the road.
Ward 90 councillor Martin Williams said: “I was told that the project should last about a month, but I am not able to guarantee a time frame as yet.”
Sello Roalane of Imvula said they have been tasked with patching potholes as well as re-tarring the road.
“We started yesterday but found that there is too much traffic during the day,” said Roalane. “We did not want to inconvenience people trying to go to work in the morning and during the day.”
He, too, was unable to commit to a time frame of the project.
