GAUTENG’S MEC for Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure Jacob Mamabolo has announced the new route for phase 1 of the proposed Gauteng Rapid Rail Integrated Network (GRRIN) project.
In 2014, Gauteng’s provincial government commissioned the Gautrain Management Agency (GMA) to develop a comprehensive strategy to improve mobility in the Gauteng. This strategy included the undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate possible extensions to the rapid rail network in the province.
Mamabolo said the route was determined following a thorough consultation process and is the first step in the process of defining a rail reserve for a future railway line in Gauteng.
The next step in the process will be to undertake a preliminary design for phase 1 of the proposed GRRIN Extensions and will include a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as well as further consultation with all interested and affected parties, he said.
