Lillian Ngoyi street to reopen to traffic; public transport routes return to original configurations
Lilian Ngoyi street, in Johannesburg, will officially reopen to traffic on September 12, with Phase 1 of the rehabilitation project completed, the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) says.
Public transport routes will return to their original route configurations.
The newly rebuilt road, between Loveday and End streets, will be a one-way street travelling eastbound.
Intersections along Lilian Ngoyi street at Rissik, Joubert, Eloff, Von Brandis and Wanderers streets will be fully accessible.
However, some continued closures will remain in place, with access to and from Loveday street and Kruis street at the Lilian Ngoyi street intersections to remain closed until further notice, the JRA says.
The JRA encourages everyone to exercise caution and courtesy while adapting to the new road layout.
The redesigned road supports a multi-modal transport system that balances the needs of every road user, as envisaged in the City of Johannesburg’s Inner-city Transport Master Plan, the JRA states.
The new Lilian Ngoyi street design helps to create a more balanced and efficient transport network and provides support for businesses and residents, as well as the overall vibrancy of the community.
It ensures safe and convenient travel for everyone, from pedestrians and public transport users to motorists catering to people of all ages and abilities, the agency says.
“The JRA will actively monitor traffic and pedestrian movements after the re-opening to ensure an efficient and safe flow for all. Where necessary, traffic signal timings will be adjusted to optimise flow and safety for all modes of transport.”
The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department will also ensure by-law enforcement and smooth traffic movement, as drivers and pedestrians adjust to the new street design, the JRA says.
Meanwhile, further details on Phase 2 of the Lilian Ngoyi street rehabilitation project, including traffic impact and route diversions, will be announced in the coming weeks.
