The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) has officially launched the Rivonia-Katherine Corridor Road Strengthening Project. This initiative is a critical part of the City of Johannesburg’s Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) 1C infrastructure rollout, aimed at improving road conditions and public transport efficiency.

Where Will the Construction Take Place?
The project will focus on a 1.7 km stretch of Katherine Street, spanning between Rivonia Road and Pretoria Avenue in Sandton. The construction will impact Ward 103 and Ward 91.

What Does the Project Involve?
The upgrades will include:

  • Road strengthening to support increased bus traffic and ensure long-term durability.
  • Enhanced traffic accommodation measures to manage vehicle flow during construction.
  • Installation of new road signage and markings for improved safety.
  • Maintenance of roadside drainage systems to prevent flooding.
  • Construction of new pavement layers and sidewalks to improve pedestrian infrastructure.

Timeline and Traffic Impact
The project officially starts impacting traffic on 27 January 2025, with construction expected to last 10 months. Commuters should anticipate delays in the area and plan their routes accordingly.

Commitment to Minimised Disruption
The JDA has assured residents and commuters that every effort will be made to reduce disruptions while achieving significant long-term benefits for public transport in the city.

Why This Project Matters
This road strengthening initiative is part of the City’s broader strategy to improve Sandton’s infrastructure and support the growing Rea Vaya network. It is expected to provide a more reliable and efficient public transport experience while enhancing the durability of the city’s roadways.
