A Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works project to rehabilitate seven kilometres of the N2 between Borcherds Quarry Rd and the R300 – and to add a third lane in both directions – is 80% complete.
“This R186-million project began in January 2016 and is expected to be completed in October 2017, if everything goes according to plan,” said Byron la Hoe, communication officer for the department.
According to him, Phase 2 work is progressing well. “Once completed, this road upgrade is expected to benefit the 82 000 vehicles that travel on this section of the N2 every day. The carrying capacity of the road will be improved. Ride quality, safety and visibility will also be better.”
