N2 highway upgrade project, South Africa
Name and Location
N2 highway upgrade project, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Client
South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).
Project Description
The project involves the upgrade of a 47 km stretch of the N2 between Grahamstown and the Fish River Pass.
The project will be completed in three phases and entails geometric improvements traversing mountainous terrain. In addition, climbing lanes will be added to steep sections of the road to improve the level of the surface.
It will also improve the national road network that provides the economic link between Port Elizabeth and East London, and which also serves as the east-west link between the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
The project is expected to improve and prepare the N2 to support increasing volumes of motorists on this national road over the next 25 years.

The project is valued at R900-million.

The project will be completed over six to seven years.
