Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters will preside over the official opening of the completed R71 Moria Interchange in Limpopo as part of the October Transport Month (OTM) campaign.
The Limpopo Roads and Transport Department announced on Monday that the official opening of the interchange would take place at the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) sports ground on Thursday (29 October 2015).
Located at the headquarters of the ZCC in Moria‚ the interchange will be a major link between Polokwane City and the eastern tourism area of Tzaneen town in the Mopani District.
The project is aimed at reducing traffic congestion‚ especially during Easter when millions of ZCC members converge on the area‚ and to improve road safety. It is also hoped that pedestrians will be safer after the upgrade.
The upgrade cost about R140 million‚ and is a result of collaboration between the Department of Transport‚ its entity SANRAL and the ZCC.
