Motorists travelling along the N2 between Qonce and Ngqushwa in the Eastern Cape will soon benefit from a nearly complete 3.5-year road construction project that promises safe and congestion-free travel.
The N2 Green River road development project west of Qonce is now 99% complete, and boasts three new bridges to improve safety.
This is a 9.2km project of SANRAL and is named after the river running between the villages of Nonkcampa and Qhaga.
The scope of works included extensive road widening, construction of the Tshoxa 1 bridge, Tshoxa 2 bridge over the Tshoxa River, a new wider bridge over the Buffalo River, a cattle underpass, and pedestrian walkways. This is in line with SANRAL’S strategic pillar of road safety which provides for safe road infrastructure.
The N2 Green River road development project was designed by GIBB Consulting Engineers and contracted to WBHO (Pty) Ltd for construction. It will reduce travelling time between Qonce and centres in Makhanda and Ggeberha, while addressing the Eastern Cape’s infrastructure backlog.
The value of the project is R500 million.
