Good progress is being made on the upgrade of trunk road TR28/2 which provides a direct link between Hermanus and Stanford. The asphalt surfacing on Section 1 is complete and the next phase will be on the completion of the base and subbase layers of the road from Main Street in Hermanus in the direction of Stanford. Section 2 of the road has had its first slurry and is now open for two-way traffic, with the construction of concrete-lined side drains being the next phase of work on this section. The asphalt and subbase have been completed on the R326 approach towards Stanford and the full width of the Klein River bridge has been opened to traffic. The contractor has been awarded an extension of time due to COVID-19 and severe weather delays. The revised due completion date is 7 December 2021.
