THE R1.4-billion construction project on the N2 between Mtunzini and Empangeni is currently two months behind schedule, but should still be completed by May 2019.
The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) started the upgrade in February last year.
‘Since commencement there has been steady progress with construction of the new north-bound carriageway.
‘This included construction of fill and pavement layers, extension of numerous culverts and agricultural overpass structures, as well as the installation of piles and construction of piers for the new uMhlatuze and uMlalazi river bridges,’ said SANRAL KZN Eastern Regions Manager, Logashri Sewnarain.
SANRAL has a number of projects currently being designed for the Zululand region.
‘The projects include the resurfacing of the N2 from Empangeni to Msunduzi; a new interchange at KwaMsane; future upgrades of the N2 between Empangeni and Kangela, then to Pongola; Pongola to the Mpumalanga border; and the upgrade of the R22 to Manguzi,’ Sewnarain said.
