An assessment of the City of Windhoek road maintenance backlog is estimated to be more than N$2.7 billion, with insight indicating that the bill could be higher with increasing potholes and road damage.
This was revealed at the Ordinary Council Meeting of the Municipal Council of Windhoek, held on Monday, 24 November 2025.
The meeting also approved an action plan to fast-track pothole repairs ahead of the rainy season.
According to a report by the Department of Infrastructure in the City of Windhoek (CoW), the City has an ageing paved network of more than 883.27 kilometres of roads and streets, most of which have passed their original design life.
