This 17km stretch of the
N4 Toll Route was originally built as a concrete road and currently has asphalt
overlay.
The rehabilitation of
Sections N4-3 and N4-4 between the OR Tambo and the Van Dyksdrift Interchanges
on the N4 Toll Route is set to begin during October.
This comes after the
appointment of Raubex Construction as the official contractor for the extensive
project.
This 17km stretch of
the N4 Toll Route was originally built as a concrete road and currently has
asphalt overlay.
Major rehabilitation
and expansion works will include the removal and replacement of failed concrete
slabs and thereafter the overlaying of the entire section. In addition, seven
kilometres of passing lanes will be constructed.
The project is valued
at approximately R300-million and is expected to take 12 months to complete. It
is one of the several major upgrades and rehabilitation projects currently
being done along the route.
The main reason
behind the roadworks is to ensure that the infrastructure of the N4 Toll Route
remains on par with international standards and is in line with TRAC’s mandate
as the concessionaire of the road linking South Africa and Mozambique.
Road users are
advised that during the month of November traffic flow will be affected as lane
reductions and/or deviations will be in effect.
This may result in delays and road users are urged to be patient and plan their trips accordingly.https://witbanknews.co.za/135794/contractor-concrete-section-appointed/
