Some of the key milestones to date include the construction
of the westbound bridge, construction of the eastbound bridge and the
reconstruction of the eastbound carriageway of Plattekloof.
However, construction is still expected to be completed in the
first quarter of next year.

waiting for the completion of the project.
“I am pleased with the progress that has been made on this
project. The
project plays a critical role as it forms an integral part of the long-term
development of the N7 corridor as well as the greater integrated transport plan
for the Cape metropole.”
“I know that it has caused frustration and inconvenience during construction, but the team has demonstrated their commitment to sticking to the plan. The long-term benefit will be invaluable to the region. Thank you to our road users for your patience, and our teams for their continued efforts. I am particularly pleased by the number of jobs and Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprise (SMME) opportunities we’ve managed to create through the project,” added Tertuis Simmers, Western Cape's Infrastructure MEC.
