Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba and Transport MMC Nonhlanhla Makhuba on Thursday officially opened the newly built Klipspruit bridge, as well as the 300 m stretch of road adjacent to it. Situated in Soweto Wards 11 and 17, the bridge replaced a culvert bridge which flooded yearly during the rainy season. Construction activities began in January 2018 and the reconstruction included the installation of side drains, gabions, stone pitching, pedestrian walkways and concrete kerbs, besides others.
