Sections of Windhoek’s newly constructed N$381-million Eneas Peter Nanyemba Road have begun to deteriorate before the project has been handed over to the City of Windhoek. The 6.1-kilometre dual carriageway road upgrade stretches from the western off-ramp from the A1 highway to the Matshitshi Street intersection in Havana. It also forms part of the infrastructure supporting the Ongos Valley residential and commercial development. The project was intended to improve access to the Ongos Valley development and ease traffic congestion in the northwestern parts of the capital. Kalangula attributed the deterioration of the road to sub-standard asphalt/base material mix or inadequate work on designs.
