Minister of Transport and Public Works, Bonginkosi Madikizela, visited construction sites across the province to monitor progress against the allocated time period to prevent delays amongst other things.
Construction of the R61 million road construction project of the R44 commenced on 31 August 2020 with an estimated completion date of
3 March 2021.
The project involves Periodic Maintenance of the high-volume, dual carriageway route between Somerset West and Stellenbosch.
Thi s project was motivated by the need for Periodic Maintenance of the road pavement to prevent deterioration of and extend the usable life of the existing infrastructure.
The scope of the works primarily entails the construction of an asphalt overlay on the existing surfacing after minor repair works.
Appurtenant works include repairs to drainage structures and replacement of signs and guardrails in a poor condition.
I am pleased to announce that this six month contract created 92 work opportunities for local residents.
Local contractors, suppliers and service providers also benefited from the project.
The project made use of new
rubber modified asphalt for the overlay.
The new technology involved enables the asphalt producer to mix at a lower temperature, saving on energy consumption and releasing fewer pollutants into the atmosphere.
The use of a rubber modified asphalt furthermore enables bulk recycling of vehicle tyres, redirecting used materials otherwise destined for landfill.
