Sanral embarks on R226m road resurfacing project
The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) has announced a R226-million road resurfacing project between the Eastern Cape towns of Grahamstown and Fort Beaufort.
Resurfacing of the R67 from Grahamstown to Fort Beaufort will commence in January and is set to be completed by October, 2018. The length of road to be resurfaced is about 70.7 km, extending northwards from the intersection to the N2 near Grahamstown to the intersection with the R63 at Fort Beaufort.
“This road provides a regional link between various smaller towns in the middle part of the Eastern Cape,” noted Sanral southern region’s manager Mbulelo Peterson on Sunday.
He said that Sanral had already appointed a contractor to “repair, patch and resurface” the R67. Peterson commented that the road was being repaired where required, resurfaced and new road markings and road studs would be installed.
He stated that the contract started in November and would be complete by September 2018.
“The works are located within the boundaries of two district municipalities – including Dr Beyers Naude (previously known as Sarah Baartman) and Amathole, and in the local municipalities of Makana and Raymond Mhlaba (previously known as Nkonkobe),” said Peterson.
He pointed out that the roadworks comprised “proactive preventative maintenance” and would include, but would not be limited to, the accommodation of traffic; excavation; shaping and trimming of drainage; pavement repairing, pretreatment and texture slurry; double seal resurfacing; ancillary works and surfacing of existing shoulders.
“Motorists are requested to observe and obey warning signs and reduced speed limits. Exercise extreme caution when travelling through the construction work zones,” Peterson emphasised.
