Rehabilitation of R101, R304 progressing well – WC transport dept
Good progress is being made on the R59-million rehabilitation of the R101 and R304 between Old Paarl road and Bloekombos, in the Western Cape, which is scheduled for completion early in 2017, the provincial Department of Transport and Public Works said on Tuesday.
Nearly a year-and-a-half after the project commenced in April 2015, some 50% of all the planned road rehabilitation works have been completed, electrical fence lines have been relocated and the installation of underground services and stormwater structures is complete.
A 4.29 km section of the R101 is being rehabilitated, while work on the R304 includes the construction of new concrete side drains, the reconstruction of a pedestrian sidewalk, the reconstruction of property entrances, the installation of new concrete kerbs and channels, new pipe and portal culverts and the construction of a passing lane.
The project is expected to create 19 000 person-days of work for residents of De Novo and Bloekombos by the time the project is complete, with some 10 000 person-days of work already created since the project's inception.
The department commented that recent contract expenditure shows that about R4.5-million had been spent on targeted enterprises selected to receive a portion of the contract value.
