After two years of construction and road disruptions, the City of Joburg has completed its R647 million transformation of the streets of Sandton with the launch of its public transport loop. The upgrade, which was launched by Johannesburg Mayor, Herman Mashaba on Tuesday, is expected to ease traffic congestion in the financial capital making it more accessible, walkable and business friendly. The dedicated public transport lane, known as the Sandton Public Transport Loop, will run along Rivonia Road, Fredman Drive and 5th Street and includes stops and shelters with information for passengers as to which bus stops where. In addition to the public transport loop the city has invested in the construction of cycle lanes, improved sidewalks and two new bridges over the M1 to improve connectivity between Alexandra and Sandton.
