Olifants Bridge beam strengthening.

The road before rehabilitation started.

ensure that the road remained open to traffic. This was done by means of constructing the road in half widths. A STOP/GO system was installed and the length of the closure chose in such a way that the delays or impacts were minimised. The only exception to this was the construction within the Kranspoort Pass, where due to the blasting and clearing operations it was necessary to close the Pass for up to 4 hours at a time . 
