City of Windhoek Communications Manager, Harold Akwenye, shed light on the allocated budget, road distribution, and the criteria for the upcoming year’s upgrades.

“For the Reseal Contract, we are currently in the process of implementing a PMS for the City. This system will assist in prioritising streets for resurfacing. Specific roads earmarked for upgrades in the upcoming year will be determined through this system,” highlighted Akwenye.

He said the allocated budget for the reseal contract stands at N$38 million, targeting significant roads such as Hosea Kutako (Mandume to Eneas Peter Nanyemba), Independence Avenue (Ausspannplatz Circle to Etna Street), and Garten Street (Independence to Rev Michael Scott).

Akwenye noted the implementation of the PMS is considered a vital step in streamlining the resurfacing process and ensuring the optimal use of funds.

In addition to the reseal contract, N$21 million has been allocated for upgrading roads to bitumen standards.

“The selected roads for this phase include Walvis Bay, Bethanie, and Outapi Streets in Katutura. The project follows a structured approach, guided by a Council Resolution that defines various project phases,” he said.

This comes as Phases 1 to 7 have been completed, with phase 8 scheduled to commence this year, pending the provision of funds by the Road Fund Administration.

As the PMS takes centre stage in decision-making, the City anticipates improved road infrastructure, contributing to enhanced connectivity and Windhoek’s overall development.
