Construction on the 80 kilometre rehabilitation of the N1 highway between Pretoria and Bela-Bela – valued at R396 million – should be completed by the end of next year, according to Bakwena Platinum N1/N4 CEO, Graham Blewitt.
Bakwena is also fully rebuilding 167 km of single carriageway on the N4 between Rustenburg and the Lobatse border post between Botswana and South Africa.
Blewiitt added that following assessments of aspects such as queue lengths and traffic capacity at toll plazas, Bakwena was also spending R230 million on selected plaza and interchange upgrades.
“We will add 14 lanes along the route.”
