R797m upgrade to the N7 to wrap up in March – WCape govt
The Western Cape Department of Infrastructure says it is making progress on the R797-million Van Schoorsdrift road safety improvement project along the N7 north of Cape Town, with completion scheduled for March next year.
The project includes roughly five kilometres of new road, six bridge structures and the elimination of at-grade intersections to improve road safety and traffic flow along this transport corridor.
The project is expected to elevate this section of the N7 to freeway standards.
To date, 95% of stormwater drainage works are completed, as well as 98% of kerb construction.
Significant progress have been made on bridge structures and the new road alignment, while installation of streetlighting infrastructure is underway.
The department says the project has created 394 work opportunities, with R131.8-million spent on targeted enterprises, supporting local economic participation.
“Every milestone brings us closer to a safer, more efficient N7 that will serve residents, businesses and future generations,” says Provincial Minister of Infrastructure Tertuis Simmers.
