Winelands toll road approved

Residents of Somerset West near Cape Town are studying the impact of a toll road on the N2 highway, approved by the Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism Marthinus van Schalkwyk. If the toll road is built, together with the proposed toll road on the other Cape Town highway, the N1, it will mean that most people will have to pay to get in and out of the city. In Somerset West, Van Schalkwyk has recommended that part of the new road should include a 150 metre long underground tunnel, to avoid the community of Helderzicht being split in two.
