There's a new highway on the horizon in South Africa
Roadtrip, anyone?
There will be a new highway coming to the Gauteng province. This is according to Gauteng Road and Transport boss Jacob Mamabolo.
The department has been working hard on finalising the process to design a new highway that will help turn the area surrounding the airport into a major trade and logistics hub.
The highway has been designated a name, PWV15, and will become the second major freeway supporting the airport all the way through to the N2, N17, and N3.

The developments in this corridor, the vision for expansion at the Airport and the vision for a large freight and logistics hub will bring many more people the kind of connections that are needed to have access to opportunity and to grow the economy
The department would need to appoint a service provider that will start on the ground work for the freeway. This would need to happen before the end of the financial year to design the first phase.

According to former Gauteng finance MEC Barbra Creecy, the intention would be to try and cut out the Gillooly's interchange.
Those who use those roads would know that travel in the early morning or late afternoon is nothing short of a nightmare.
