Contract Administration & Project Management | Road Design | Road Maintenance

Project Overview

Phase 1

Location: Hermanus to Stanford
Period: 2018 to 2022

Phase 2

Location: Stanford to Gansbaai
Period: 2022 to 2024

The current road has a surface width of 6.4m and 1.5m unsurfaced shoulders that does not comply with the standard Class 1 cross-section. The road has a mobility function and also gives access to agricultural land, smallholdings, holiday resorts as well as several nature conservancies. The area is known for its wine industry, holiday resorts and several tourist based activities with no large industrial development present.

The upgrade of TR28/2 will address the following:

Upgrade of the road cross-section to comply with a Class 1 cross-section (11.4m surfaced width)

Improve the vertical and horizontal alignment to comply with 100km/h design speed parameters

Strengthen the existing road pavement structure to accommodate future traffic growth

Upgrade the existing storm water structures along the road to address existing flooding problems

Safety of existing accesses in terms of shoulder sight distance and access spacing requirements

Adequacy of the existing destination, tourism and road warning signage and road markings

The upgrading of TR28/2 between Hermanus and Gansbaai will be done in 2 phases, with phase 1 between Hermanus and Stanford completed. Construction of phase 2 started in August 2022 and will be completed by December 2024.
