Minister Grant to Tour Vlaeberg Level Crossing Elimination Project

23 October 2014

At 7:00 on 24 October 2014, Donald Grant,  Minister of Transport and Public Works and Richard Walker, Metrorail Regional Manager will tour the site of the Vlaeberg Level Crossing elimination project in Stellenbosch as part of October Transport Month.

This project is a partnership between the Western Cape Government and PRASA, as part of our continued efforts to make level crossings safer and to lessen the frequency of incidents and serious injuries.

Once this project is complete, a total of eight level crossings, of the 40 in the province, will be eliminated with levels of safety increased exponentially.

Minister Grant, Mr Walker and the construction team will be on site to provide details on the project, as well as conduct a tour of the current road over rail bridge construction.
