The project is valued at approximately R340-million and is expected to take 24 months to complete. Road users are advised that traffic flow will be affected throughout the roadworks as lane reductions and/or deviations will be in effect.

“TRAC would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding at construction zones and we assure you of our continued commitment to maintaining the N4 Toll Route on par with world standards,” said TRAC’s Solange Soares-Nicolson.
