Project Description
The project will upgrade the existing roadway to a five-lane divided dual carriageway starting in the south at Key Ridge, near the M13 interchange, at 2.8 km and continuing to just before the Hammarsdale Interchange at 8.83 km. 

The project will be completed in three phases:

Phase 1 entails the widening of the existing northbound carriageway to accommodate five lanes of contraflow traffic – two lanes northbound and three lanes southbound. 

Phase 2 involves the diversion of all traffic to the newly widened northbound carriageway and the construction of the new five-lane southbound carriageway as a greenfield project.

In line with Sanral’s transformation objectives, at least R1.1-billion will be subcontracted to small-, medium-sized and microenterprises, while just over R392-million will be spent on local labour.

Capital Expenditure
R4.57-billion.
