The first phase of the N12 freeway upgrade has been completed at a cost of R100 million, announced Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Ismail Vadi.
He said that the rehabilitated freeway, together with the three interchanges that were improved along the route, is not part of the e-tolled road network.
The rehabilitated portion of the freeway stretches from Eldorado Park to Zuurbekom, south of Johannesburg, and provides a critical link between Gauteng and the North West Province.
The one-year-long project involved the resurfacing of the freeway; clearing of drainage structures; replacing missing steel grids; reinstating road markings; erecting new road signs, and replacing guardrails.
During the construction a truck carrying a heavy load damaged bridge No 1728 on East Road, which resulted in the bridge being closed off to traffic. The department is currently in the process of appointing a service provider to repair the damaged bridge, said Vadi.
