The Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG), led by
Premier Panyaza Lesufi will on Wednesday, 22 November 2023 officially open the
upgraded K73 Allandale Road, in Midrand, Johannesburg.
 
The
multi-million rand road project involved the construction of a dual carriageway
of the new road section between Montrose and Allandale Roads, upgrading of
Woodmead Drive and Allandale Road as well as the construction of a bridge along
the road.
 
The upgrade of
the road has made a significant improvement in traffic flow by alleviating
traffic congestion, making commuting and vehicle mobility smoother and more
efficient around the Midrand area.
 
The project
provided jobs to local communities and saw 34 SMME sub-contractors awarded
construction work such as kerbing, paving, concrete channels, stormwater pipes,
subsoils and ancillary works, plant hire, training as well as security.
