It is estimated that this road will last for 20 to 35 years with no need for maintenance,\u201d said Rosie Daaminds, Nelson Mandela Bay Mayoral Committee Member for Roads and Transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her the construction of the extended road was completed in three months and a total of R5 million was spent. Twenty four local labourers benefited from the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project, which was contracted through Kayalihle Trading, consisted of 800m of asphalt surfaced road. This included a 1.5m wide side- walk along the entire length of the road to improve pedestrian safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn year 2020 and 2021 we plan to upgrade many more roads in this community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the same day of the opening of the Acacia Road extension two other roads, Leeu Street and Hippo street, were officially opened in Colchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 53 councillor, Nomazulu Mthi said the building of these roads means a lot to the residents in these communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeeu Street was a gravel road and residents were often stuck at home when it rained, as the road became very muddy,\u201d said Mthi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE extension of Acacia Road which leads to Moeggesukkel on the far side of
