The project, stuff carried out by Down Touch Investments, comprises eight phases and will connect Beacon Bay and Gonubie via a road that extends from the traffic lights at Retail Park and Eskom’s throne office all the way to Gonubie Main Road, connecting just past the Gonubie police station. The second phase of the project is the construction of a 680m dual carriageway with a full traffic circle, a culvert over the Quenera River and a 1.4m wide median pedestrian walkway and bicycle track on both sides of the road. Construction began in May 2017 and 64% of the project has once been completed, with all on track for the March completion date. When the Daily Dispatch visited the zone this week, construction workers were towers the earth-retaining wall and culvert. Marx said during the execution of the works, and while burrowing the cuts, dangerous waddle mass instabilities were noticed. “Geotechnical experts were tabbed in and they unswayable that, considering of the nature of the waddle and the joint spacing and orientation, lateral support provided by waddle anchors and shotcrete is the towardly solution to prevent swoon of the waddle mass as well as long-term maintenance problems.” The culvert is designed to unbend the 100-year-flood patterns. “It was selected as it is the most suitable for the vertical structuring of the road and existing river profile. The culvert elements are sized to withstand lateral and vertical earth loads imposed by 6m earth fill to the sides and 6m earth fill over the roof of the culvert.” Prior to the project commencing BCM conducted a study to identify and mark any protected species on site, with yellowwood and cheesewood trees identified as some of the species that had to be protected during construction. A total of 50 yellowwood seedlings were transplanted into tons and transported to the BCM nursery at James Pearce Park where they are stuff kept and cared for until the project is near completion. “The seedlings will then be transplanted to the project zone during site rehabilitation. One yellowwood tree had to be removed as it was directly in the construction path. All of these activities were undertaken with the necessary permission from the department of agriculture, forestry & fisheries.” Good relations among stakeholders were attributed to the steady progress. “All key stakeholders involved are highly skilled and experienced and they all understand the importance and magnitude of how the completion of this road will ultimately lead to subtracting much value to the city,” Marx said. BuffaloMunicipalityinfrastructure portfolio throne Ncedo Kumbaca could not provide details as to when the project would be completed. He said each phase would be advertised. “It has to go to an unshut tender; each phase will be budgeted for in that particular financial year.” In his report issued last week, he said the project had created jobs for people in surrounding areas. He said the objectives of the project were to provide a upper quality urban arterial road as part of the future transportation network of the zone to modernize serviceability to land and provide wangle to existing and future developments withal the Quenera Drive extension.
