Construction of the Bokomo Street junction on the N7 freeway near Malmesbury is now expected to be completed by August 2018.

The N7 is the major economic artery that runs from Cape Town through the West Coast and Namaqualand region to the Namibian border.

The upgrading of the Bokomo junction forms part of the construction of a 4km double-lane highway between Abbotsdale and Malmesbury. A brand new bridge and off-ramps are built and the road is being widened. Provisions are made for pedestrians through the construction of strategically located walkways.
