JRA tackles bridge rehabilitation after severe floods

The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has embarked on the R113.5-million rehabilitation, reconstruction and repair of six bridges across the city, following heavy rainfall and flash flooding in early January. The affected bridges include Belgrave, Joe Nhlanhla, Cork Avenue, Bridge Road, Spring Road and 432 Modderfontein Road, with the JRA advising motorists and pedestrians to use alternative routes with the closing of the Joe Nhlanhla and Bridge Road bridges over the Jukskei river.
