Midvaal repairs 555 potholes in one week
Midvaal Local Municipality’s War on Potholes Campaign continues to make progress in improving road infrastructure across the municipality.
Last week, municipal roads teams completed pothole repairs on three major roads that had been identified as priority problem areas: Bul-Bul Road, Seymour Road and Joos Williamson Street.
A total of 555 potholes were repaired during the reporting period.
Pothole repair work will continue on several roads, including South Road, Boet Kruger Street, Sebra Street, Wisconsin Road, Vlakhaas Street, Van der Byl Street, Bennie Liebenberg Street and Gourley Road.
In addition to pothole repairs, the Grading Teams completed work on six roads in Walkers Fruit Farms, Mooilande, Riversdale and Meyerton Farms, helping to improve road accessibility and driving conditions in these areas.
Road marking teams also painted 27 stop signs, refurbished 12 rusted traffic sign poles, painted one pedestrian crossing, and refreshed markings on 17 speed humps to improve visibility and enhance safety for all road users.
Teams will also be deployed across different areas to clean stormwater infrastructure, clear vegetation around culverts and remove overgrown grass and trees that may restrict water flow and access.
The contractor appointed by the municipality is currently working on Boundary Road, progressing well with maintenance works on the badly damaged section of the road.
Following significant progress across several areas of Midvaal, the War on Potholes Campaign is now moving to De Deur, targeting one of the municipality’s most challenging areas for road maintenance and repairs.
Midvaal is delivering on the promise we made when we launched the War on Potholes campaign: to improve roads damaged by wear and tear, heavy rains, traffic loads, and other environmental factors, while also rehabilitating roads that have reached the end of their lifespan.
The campaign is steadily progressing towards this goal, with all teams committed to fulfilling the promise of ensuring reliable and safe roads for all residents.
