Project description

Periodic maintenance to be carried out between Trunk Road 9/1 (Route N1) from Black River Bridge (km 0.00) to Plattekloof Road Interchange (km 10.87).

General traffic accommodation

To minimise traffic disruption, construction will take place in one lane of each carriageway at a time, and road closures on the N1 will only be undertaken at night and on weekends. At least one lane will be open at all times in both the inbound and outbound directions.

Where work is being undertaken on ramps and intersections, motorists can expect half the roadway to be open, and traffic flow will be managed with stop/go controls. The contractor will ensure that flag operators are effectively deployed, and that all necessary temporary road signage is well maintained.

Interesting facts

The project involves removing existing asphalt surfacing, undertaking repairs, patching and sealing cracks where this is necessary, and resurfacing the pavement with an ultra-thin friction course (UTFC) top layer. The contract also includes work on some of the ramps and service road intersections along the route.
