Good progress at critical highway intersection
Medway Road construction linking port and John Ross Parkway nears completion
EXCELLENT progress is being made on the R45-million upgrade of Medway Road, linking the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone and the eastern gate of the port to the John Ross Parkway.
The doubling of the road bridge – a complicated process which entailed the building of a coffer dam to divert the water in the canal – has been completed.
According to project engineer Rob Cowan, the final concrete for the culvert was laid on Monday.
‘We expect the roadworks on both Medway Road and the John Ross Parkway to be completed by the middle of September.
‘We started installing the new street lights on Medway Road this week and expect this to also be completed by the middle of September.
‘The balance of the work such as street furniture, walkways and landscaping is expected to be complete by the end of next month.’
