Update: Pothole repairs on 10th Road in Kew extended to July 11
Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA) has provided an update on the ongoing pothole repairs at 10th Road in Kew, reassuring residents and motorists that work is now back on track.
JRA regional operations manager Khayalethu Gqibitole said that the repairs, which were initially scheduled for completion by July 4, are now expected to be finalised by July 11.
Gqibitole explained that the delay was due to unexpected issues that arose during the repair process, which temporarily disrupted the workflow. However, he assured that the team has resolved these issues and is now focused on restoring the road to a safe and smooth condition. 'Our team visited the site on July 7 and is making steady progress. While the delay was caused by unforeseen circumstances that temporarily impacted our schedule, we are fully engaged and committed to completing the work by the end of July 11.'

Residents and motorists expressed frustration over the incomplete repairs, which left the road in a hazardous state and caused inconvenience.
The partial work involved removing potholes, but did not include full resurfacing, leaving the road vulnerable to further deterioration.
The Sandton Chronicle will monitor the situation and provide further updates once repairs are finalised.
