The R48m project - situated between Gauteng and Mpumalanga borders - entails light rehabilitation of P243 Section 2 from Vereeniging (km 9) to Balfour (km 18.13).

The rehabilitation is envisioned to improve the safety of motorists as well as extend the lifespan of the road by 20 years.

The scope of work includes recycling existing base and sub-base; reconstruction of existing gravel shoulder; asphalt surfacing; undertaking drainage improvements; repairs or replacements of ancillary elements as well as finishing of the road reserve.

Upon completion, the road is expected to reduce travel times as well as provide improved transportation of people, goods and services across the two provinces.

It will also provide opportunities for skills development as well as provide economic empowerment to various small and emerging contractors in the region.
