Notice of interruptions to normal traffic flow due to roadworks on Refinery Interchange along Plattekloof Road and the N7
The Plattekloof Road (MR14) and the Trunk Road 11/7 (N7) carriageways between the Refinery and Potsdam Interchange will be closed to traffic for road and bridge construction works to the Refinery Interchange. The closure will start from the evening of 9 December 2022 to the morning of 12 December 2022. The N7 northbound on- and off-ramps, and the southbound on-ramp at Refinery Interchange will remain open to traffic.
Accommodation of traffic will be in place for safe passage of traffic around the construction works. The public is advised to use alternative routes where possible.
The objective of this project is to upgrade the Refinery Interchange. The upgrade includes the construction of two new road-over-road bridges for eastbound and westbound traffic as well as westbound widening of the road-over-rail bridge for dualling of Plattekloof Road across the N7. The project was awarded to H&I Construction (Pty) Ltd in July 2021 and the expected completion date is February 2024.
To commence with Phase 3 of roadworks and demolition of the existing bridge from December 2022, the Plattekloof Roadway over the N7 and the N7 carriageways between Refinery and Potsdam Interchanges will be closed to traffic from 19:00 on 9 December 2022 to 05:00 on 12 December 2022. The N7 northbound off- and on-ramps, and the southbound on-ramp at Refinery Interchange will remain open to traffic.
The flow of traffic around the mentioned construction works will be safely accommodated and diverted as depicted in the picture below.
The public is requested to be patient and exercise caution. Use of alternative routes where possible is advised to avoid delays and inconvenience.
