en.Wedoany.com Reported - Road concessionaire Bakwena Platinum Corridor Concessionaire stated that the rehabilitation work on the N1 highway from the Proefplaas Interchange to the Pumulani mainline toll plaza is progressing steadily.

The project's completion date has been extended from the end of this year to March 2027, while the project cost has increased from R276 million to R311 million, due to additional works required to address potential pavement issues.

Since the project commenced, over 22,000 tons of asphalt have been laid. From mid-July, asphalt overlay works will begin, during which some interchange ramps, including those at Proefplaas, will have temporary lane closures.

Bakwena has implemented strict traffic management measures to ensure road safety and minimize delays, with a focus on reducing temporary lane closures as much as possible during peak hours. Most rehabilitation work is scheduled for night shifts.

Bakwena stated that upon completion, the project will provide a smoother and safer travel experience, improve freight efficiency, and strengthen regional trade links. At the same time, the project has created local employment opportunities and supported small business development through the involvement of local suppliers.
