The Department of Transport and Public Works commissioned an 18-month road construction project on the R102 at the Maalgate River Bridge between the Glentana Intersection and the George Airport. The expected completion date is August 2022.
Traffic will be accommodated on the existing road or on temporary deviations. Stop/ go traffic controls will be necessary to enable half-width construction (the closure of one lane) to take place.
The safety and convenience of the travelling public are of utmost importance and every effort will be made to ensure that all temporary road signs, delineators, flag operators and speed controls are maintained and are effective, and that courtesy is extended to the public at all times.
Well-maintained roads are important infrastructural goods that support the economic growth of the Western Cape by enabling the rapid movement of people and goods. They also provide access to opportunities for residents, for example, better access to work opportunities, economic opportunities, and social amenities. DTPW understands that roadworks are frustrating for motorists, but the result will be better and safer roads for the benefit of all residents of the province.
