Selby BRT depot will support network expansion

The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) is steering the construction of the Selby Rea Vaya bus rapid transit (BRT) depot, with the third and final phase now in progress. This entails the refurbishment of an existing administration block.

The depot will provide major and minor maintenance services for two Rea Vaya BRT operating companies, with the setup designed to accommodate up to 270 buses.

Included in the scope of works completed to date are extensive alterations, refurbishments and additions to an existing workshop building. Allied to this is the construction of a new refuelling building, a new double-volume wash bay facility, two new refuse buildings, plus ancillary works.

Mokgema Mongane, CEO at the JDA, says the Selby depot forms part of the JDA’s accelerated delivery programme, with a priority focus on social and economic infrastructure.

“Once complete, the Selby BRT depot will be fundamental for the Rea Vaya Phase 1C operations to include the trunk route from Sandton to Alexandra along Rivonia Road and Katherine Drive, and the trunk route from Parktown to Alexandra along Louis Botha Avenue,” Mongane concludes.
