National Route R33: Section 14 – Vaalwater to Lephalale upgrade, South Africa
Name of the Project
National Route R33: Section 14 – Vaalwater to Lephalale upgrade.
Location
Limpopo, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).
Project Description
The project will repair the Merriespruit steel-ribbed culvert on the R33 that washed away, owing to inclement weather.
As the new Merriespruit bridge is being constructed, Sanral will also replace the rusted steel-ribbed culverts on the adjacent Brakspruit and Barberskuil streams with new reinforced concrete bridges.
The project’s high-level scope comprises establishing a small materials testing laboratory on site and facilities for the engineer.
An operational barrow pit will be established and three single-lane temporary deviations will be built at the site of each new bridge.
Additional work includes road and drainage works; three reinforced concrete bridges; the erection of guardrails and road signs; and applying road markings and road studs. Work will also be done to protect the slopes and establish vegetation, and on testing materials.
Once the three bridges are completed, the R33 will probably be the preferred route between Vaalwater and Lephalale, as it is 25 km shorter than the alternative route.
