The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) has announced that a 3km section of the R43 from the Kleinmond interchange on the N2 Exit 90 to Kleinmond and Hermanus will be closed for the next six months.

Sanral is currently upgrading the N2 section 2 between Houwhoek Pass and Caledon, including the 3km stretch of the R43, which will be closed.

The scope of work for the R43 road safety improvement, involves a full upgrade and reconstruction of layer works, as well as widening the road to 3.7m wide lanes, with 2.4m wide shoulders in both directions.

“It was initially envisaged that the work would be done under half-width construction, with a ten-month construction period, but in trying to reduce the inconvenience associated with road works and the stop-go traffic control, we opted for a full closure, which could reduce the construction time by up to four months, weather permitting,” Sanral Project manager Krishna Naidoo said.

Traffic will be accommodated via the Botrivier interchange on the N2 (Exit 92) which is a mere 2km away from the closure.

Sanral appealed to road users to exercise caution when approaching the construction area and to adhere to speed and access restrictions, while looking out for road construction workers.
