More roads are scheduled for resealing in the 2024/2025 financial year.

Among the roads earmarked for resealing are Duine Road and Prospect Street in Pellsrus. This work is part of the R9.7 million project that will see the installation of a pipeline from the La-Mer sewer pump station in Diaz Road, Jeffreys Bay, to the sewer pump station 4A in Koraal Street.

Additionally, sections of Anne Avenue and Neville Road in St Francis Bay will also undergo significant improvements, while the Seekoei Estuary Causeway will be reconstructed at a cost of over R6.4 million.

Jantjes said, “The municipality is, furthermore, in the process of securing funding to facilitate the resealing of more roads across all towns in Kouga.”
