A total of 27 gravel roads across the Kouga region are set to be tarred within the next two years \u2013 forming part of the two-year R53 655 281.80 road upgrade contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cA whopping 4 628m of gravel road was tarred in the 2021\/2022 financial year,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks. \u201cAn additional 952m of gravel road is in the process of being tarred.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot stopping there, some 5 797m of road will be tarred in the current financial year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The priority gravel roads tarred in the previous financial year include Mentoor Street, Koerat Street, and the entrance to Golf Course in Humansdorp.<\/p>\n
