Johannesburg Roads Agency
Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) is the City of Johannesburg's official entity for building, maintaining, and managing public road infrastructure, not a private company homeowners hire for renovation or construction work. It handles things like pothole repairs, traffic light faults, and citywide road projects, and residents can log service requests directly through its site. It shows up in this contractor search because Google categorizes it as a road construction company, but it isn't a fit if you're looking for someone to build or renovate a private property.
What people praise
- Residents can log a specific issue, like a pothole or damaged road, directly through the JRA's online request system
- It handles large-scale public infrastructure that a private contractor wouldn't take on
Worth knowing
- It's a government agency responsible for public roads, not a business you can hire for a private construction or renovation project
- Reviewers frequently describe slow response times on reported road issues, with several complaints about unresolved potholes and road damage
Our take: It tops this list on review volume alone, but if you need a contractor for your own home or business, look at the private firms below, this one only handles public road infrastructure.
