FCC to construct roads with storm water drains

The Mayor, Sylvia Muzila, told Mmegi that the council intended to upgrade some roads to dual carriageways, and with storm water drainage system. The roads include Marang Road, Guy Street Road, Boipuso Road, Kazungula Road, Gemme Drive and New Bridge Road.

Muzila said the flooding that usually took place during the rainy season made it imperative to ensure that roads have stormwater drainage systems. She said floods pose danger to the residents: both pedestrians and motorists. Areas that occasionally experience floods when it rains are Block One, Area W, Riverview residence, Kgaphamadi, Maipaafela, Ntshe, Satellite and Somerset.
