NEWCASTLE MUNICIPALITY MAKES STEADY PROGRESS ON MADADENI TARRED ACCESS ROADS PROJECT

The Newcastle Municipality is pleased to announce steady and significant progress on the Madadeni Tarred Access Roads Project, a key infrastructure initiative aimed at transforming accessibility and improving the quality of life for residents.

Implemented under the visionary leadership of His Worship the Mayor, Cllr. Xolani Dube (DX Dube), the project seeks to address the long-standing challenge of unpaved roads in Madadeni, which have historically affected mobility, particularly during adverse weather conditions.

Welcoming and applauding the speed at which these projects progress, His Worship, the mayor of Newcastle said that the municipality is committed to delivering exceptional infrastructure and services to its residents, and the Madadeni Tarred Access Roads Project is a clear testament to this commitment

"This project will not only improve the daily lives of Madadeni residents but will also contribute to the overall economic growth and development of our municipality." Added Dube

Progress Update: Ward 28 and Ward 29

The project covers both Ward 28 and Ward 29, with each ward at an advanced stage of implementation:

Ward 28:
The project has advanced significantly and has reached the blacktop surfacing stage. The road is now nearing completion.

Ward 29:

The project team is currently focused on the installation of stormwater pipes and the laying of quarry material, a critical foundational phase of the project. This phase is nearing completion, after which the team will proceed to the next stages of construction.

NEWCASTLE MUNICIPALITY CONTINUES STRATEGIC ROAD MARKING PROGRAMME IN NEWCASTLE CENTRAL

14 October 2026

The Newcastle Municipality continued its strategic road marking programme in Newcastle Central today as part of its ongoing intervention to enhance road safety and improve traffic management.

Teams were deployed in the C*D this morning, focusing on high-traffic intersections, pedestrian crossings, and parking bays. The initiative forms part of the Municipality's continuous infrastructure maintenance and traffic management plan.

The programme is critical for guiding motorists and pedestrians, regulating traffic flow, improving discipline at intersections, and reducing the risk of accidents in the busy central area.

Quality-assured, high-visibility road marking material is being used to ensure durability and improved visibility, especially at night and during wet weather conditions. The work is being executed systematically to minimise disruption to businesses and road users.

The road marking programme is an ongoing municipal initiative and will continue to be rolled out to other areas in the coming days as part of efforts to strengthen infrastructure and ensure safer roads for all.
