Department of Roads and Transport has completed the Road D670 rehabilitation project between Bronkhorstspruit and Ekangala, east of Tshwane, eight months ahead of schedule. 

The 19km road project is worth R90 million and is located north of Bronkhorstspruit towards the R513 intersection forming part of the northern corridor. 


MEC Ismail Vadi said that the completion of the project ahead of schedule demonstrated the department’s commitment to adhering to set timetables and allocated budgets. 

“The rehabilitated road will stimulate local economic participation and growth. Furthermore, it will improve traffic capacity, particularly coal haulers travelling from Ekangala towards the N4. 

“This is part of the Gauteng Provincial Government’s efforts to roll out road infrastructure aimed at stimulating economic growth,” said MEC Vadi. 

Vadi said the rehabilitated road would not only ensure continuous and effective operations of the coal power station but also provide safer conditions for daily commuters traveling to work, especially Ekangala residents working in Bronkhorstspruit, Cullinan, Rayton, Bapsfontein and Delmas.
