The City of Tshwane today conducted an oversight inspection of strategic roads and
transport infrastructure projects, including the Integrated Rapid Public Transport
Network (IRPTN) Line 3 corridor and the WF Nkomo Street road resurfacing project.
The visit formed part of the current administration’s commitment to strengthening
oversight, accelerating delivery and ensuring that infrastructure investments achieve
their intended impact for residents.
The oversight tour, attended by the Executive Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, and MMC
for Community Safety, Ald Hannes Coetzee, reflects the City’s coordinated
approach to rebuilding and modernising roads and transport infrastructure to create
a safer, more reliable and integrated mobility network.
A central focus of today’s inspection was the IRPTN Line 3 corridor, a flagship
transport investment connecting the Pretoria CBD and Atteridgeville. Located in
Region 3, Ward 58, along Princes Park Avenue, the project forms part of the City’s
broader strategy to improve public transport infrastructure, strengthen economic
connectivity and address historic infrastructure backlogs.
The project includes road widening and rehabilitation, stormwater infrastructure
upgrades, bus bays and stops, non-motorised transport infrastructure, electrical
upgrades and traffic accommodation measures.
The current administration has prioritised restoring and accelerating roads and
transport investments following a period where budget reductions significantly
affected infrastructure delivery and delayed the implementation of key programmes.
The renewed focus on township infrastructure and strategic mobility
corridors demonstrates the City’s commitment to improving access,
opportunity and service delivery.
During today’s inspection, the City noted that road layer works have
been completed, with sections already opened to traffic. Stormwater
infrastructure has been completed, traffic lights have been installed and OFFICE OF THE MMC FOR ROADS AND TRANSPORT

energised, fire hydrants are in place and the majority of pedestrian walkways have
been completed.
Road markings have been completed up to Nana Street, while the remaining works
include signal synchronisation, final road markings towards the southern end of the
corridor, completion of outstanding walkway sections, installation of remaining
electrical poles and connections, burial of exposed cables and water pipes, final
surfacing, landscaping and the securing of bollards.
The City continues to monitor key project risks, including the proximity of informal
settlements adjacent to the corridor, theft of electrical cables and potential weather-
related delays. Mitigation measures remain in place to maintain construction
momentum and support the timely completion of the project.
The oversight tour also included an inspection of the WF Nkomo Street road
resurfacing project, which forms part of the City’s road maintenance programme
aimed at preserving strategic transport corridors, improving commuter safety and
strengthening connectivity between the Pretoria CBD and Atteridgeville.
The City remains committed to moving away from fragmented infrastructure
interventions towards a coordinated and integrated transport system that improves
mobility, supports economic growth and enhances the quality of life of residents.
Through strategic investment, stronger implementation systems and active political
oversight, the City of Tshwane continues to rebuild the foundations of a modern
transport network capable of meeting the needs of current and future generations
