THE R57-million contract to realign the N2 at the uMhlali and uMvoti river bridges has been put on hold, owing to termination of the contract by SANRAL.
‘The safety of road users is paramount and will not be compromised through the use of sub-standard material or poor-performing service providers,’ said Ridhwaan Mahomed, SANRAL Eastern Region Project Manager.
The final decision to terminate the contract came about when the contractor filed for business rescue and was ultimately sequestrated.
Mahomed said the constructed pavement layer using the material from local suppliers did not meet the required specifications.
