PWV 15 is a 35,5 km long planned north-south freeway, which preliminary designs were completed over the years 1981 to 1996. The planned road is situated a short distance east of the O R Tambo International Airport and will provide a desired eastern bypass to the airport precinct. As such it will generate major road user benefits. National and international freight transport will benefit greatly from the road in view of it providing an alternative to the congested Gillooly’s Farm area, while the road will act as a North-South mobility axis for developments envisaged by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.
