The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) says it is taking swift action to rectify the issues that have delayed the rehabilitation of Lilian Ngoyi street (formerly Bree street) in the Johannesburg central business district.

The public has expressed concern about the delays in preparing the road and other infrastructure damaged in a July 2023 gas explosion.  

The project, which started in January, has been divided into two phases, with the first phase due for completion in December.

The JRA informs that, despite previous interventions, the appointed contractor has struggled to meet its contractual obligations.

As a result, the JRA has issued a formal notice of intent to terminate the contract if the contractor does not rectify the situation.

This notice period, in accordance with the General Conditions of Contract started on July 23, allows the contractor 14 days to respond and rectify the default.

The JRA stresses that it remains committed to delivering safe, accessible roads and infrastructure to the public.

“We will ensure the project is completed to satisfactory standards and will provide further updates on the project’s recommencement and projected timelines once the contractor has responded to the notice.

“During this process, continuous engagements with all impacted stakeholders will take place in order to provide updates and reassurance on progress,” the entity avers.
