The Mpumalanga transport department has spoken out about the problem and blamed the deterioration of the R36 between Machadodorp and Mashishing (formerly Lydenburg) in Mpumalanga on heavy trucks and rain.
"Much maintenance has been done on the road, but the large number of heavy trucks from various mines that use the road have contributed to the deterioration of the road," department spokesperson Dumisani Malamule said.
"The road has now deteriorated to the point where patching is not a feasible option anymore, but rehabilitation is required."
Dumisani said that the department has plans to repair the damage during the financial year 2014/2014 and that every effort would be made to ensure the road was restored to its original state.
