Periodic Maintenance on N2 between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay

Western Cape, 15 August 2024 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced that a periodic maintenance project is currently underway on the N2 between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.

SANRAL Project Manager, Keenan Walbrugh explained that the maintenance extends to the section of the N2 between the Goukamma River bridge and the White Bridge, as well as the section between the Assegaai intersection and the intersection with the Sasol filling station in Harkerville.

“The project entails repairing distressed or defected areas on the road, followed by the construction of a new asphalt surfacing layer,” said Walbrugh.

Repairs to the distressed areas between Goukamma River Bridge and the White Bridge have been completed and in the interest of road safety, temporary road markings have been installed. Construction of the final surfacing layer and road markings is envisaged to commence during October and should be completed before the end of this year.

Repairs to the section between Assegaai intersection and the intersection with the Sasol filling station in Harkerville have also been completed. However, additional repairs will be implemented on this section between August and November 2024 and construction of the final surfacing layer and road markings is anticipated to start in January 2025. Overall completion of the project is envisaged to be in February 2025.

All efforts are being made to minimize the disruption to traffic flow. SANRAL appeals to motorists to be extra vigilant and adhere to the posted speed limits and ‘no overtaking’ signage within the construction zones. No construction works will take place during the December/January holiday period.
