A long-awaited road upgrade is underway, bringing excitement and promise of improved travel and economic benefits.
LIMPOPO - The upgrading of the 5km stretch of road on the D3715 between Madodonga and Tshikhodobo has sparked excitement among road users. The first phase of the project, which began in July, is set to be completed by the end of January 2025.
On February 9, the former MEC for Public Works Nkakareng Rakgoale and RAL representatives visited the area to introduce the contractor, promising that phase two of the D3715 rehabilitation would start in March. Due to unforeseen delays, work however, started in July. Luyanda Sithole, RAL’s communication manager, explained that the delay was caused by community protests, which insisted the project start at a different location than planned. The project, originally set for a six-month timeline, is now scheduled to be completed by January 2025.
