The Gauteng Province is to upgrade William Nicol Drive up to the N14 freeway for R576 million as part of Gauteng’s infrastructure development plans.

Road construction underway in the Sandton CBD is set to continue for most of 2016 with the City of Johannesburg investing R180 million in massive improvements to roads and pavements in Sandton Central - SA’s cosmopolitan financial and commercial hub.

Getting around the Sandton CBD is going to be different during the month-long festival that introduces new pedestrian zones, cycling lanes, public transport lanes, public transport resources and managed vehicle access on a few streets.

The damage caused by the heavy rains on the Gauteng provincial road network is estimated to be over R50 million.
