JRA winning the fight against potholes
Johannesburg Road Agency is on a mission to embark on pothole closure campaign in the City of Joburg.
The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has made significant headway with the inspection and repairs of road infrastructure, traffic signals, bridges and culverts throughout Soweto.
JRA managing director Skhumbuzo Macozoma said the JRA team worked timelessly to repair more roads in Soweto.
“We had our maintenance guys working seven days a week completing some 70% of damage caused by the floods and rehabilitating nine bridges, repairing 23 504 potholes, 7981m2 patching, skoffeling 36044m2.
“Our teams also cleaned the drains, unblocking and performing minor repairs on some 1819 storm water drains, whilst ensuring that the City’s 2114 traffic signals are working across the city.”
Macozama said: “JRA committed R37million for bridge repairs after the rains, including culverts and gabions within the City of Joburg.
“Nine bridges within the City of Joburg were identified and prioritized for immediate repairs and progress is provided below.”
Macozoma says the JRA is determined to improve the user experience on Joburg roads through modernising and deploying technology to keep traffic signals operating thereby increasing mobility and reducing accidents.
