Comment on the proposed road infrastructure upgrades along Turfhall Road

About

The project proposes road infrastructure upgrades to increase the road network capacity along Turfhall Road, between Belgravia Road and Newfields Road.

By increasing the road network capacity, we aim to improve the operations of:

• public transport 
• active mobility 
• goods and services 
• private transport

The proposed upgrades include:

• A dual carriageway - Belgravia Road to Newfields Road 
• New and improved walking and cycling facilities - Jan Smuts Drive to Orion Road 
• New public transport embayment 
• Improved crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists 
• Turfhall Road/Surran Road - new intersection 
• Turfhall road/David Road intersection - conversion to a left-in/left-out system with a median barrier

This project forms part of the City’s Comprehensive Integrated Transport Plan, Congestion Relief Programme, and Integrated Public Transport Network’s base network.

In terms of Section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments to the municipality in respect of the proposal.
