The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to notify travelers of the erection of 16-meter long precast concrete poles along the N2 between Bay West/Hunters Retreat Interchange and Samantha/Linton Grange Interchange, starting on Thursday, February 20.
In a statement released by SANRAL, this first portion of the Freeway Management Systems (FMS) project involves the erection of seven poles, with an estimated duration of approximately three to four weeks.
“During this period, the slow lane will be closed over a short distance, approximately one kilometer at a time, and traffic will be accommodated in the fast lane.
“The completion of the first portion is expected by March 20,” the statement read.
The statement added that the FMS requires approximately 70 concrete poles to be erected along the national roads within Nelson Mandela Bay.
“The FMS contractor will continue to the next portion until all concrete poles have been erected and CCTV cameras have been installed,” the statement further added.
SANRAL Eastern Cape Provincial Head, Mbulelo Peterson, said: “Motorists are requested to travel more cautiously and within the posted speed limit while the traffic accommodation is in place.”
