SANRAL SOC Ltd Upgrading of National Road R573 Section 1 from Baviaanspoort Road (KM 2.4) to Taaibos (KM 4.6) and the new R573 / Sefako Makgatho Interchange and Upgrades on R513-1 Sefako Makgatho Drive (KM 0.20 to KM 1.6), Gauteng Province
SANRAL proposes the upgrade of R573 Section 1 (R573-01) from Stormvoël Road (KM 0.0) to the Gauteng / Mpumalanga Border (approximately KM 48.6). The project was divided into seven (7) construction phases. Phase 3A will entail the development of the R573‐1 / Sefako Makgatho Interchange as a Diverging Diamond Interchange layout; the development of the R573‐1 from Baviaanspoort Road (KM 2.4) to Taaibos (KM 4.6) as an urban 6‐lane undivided dual carriageway and the development of the R513‐1 (Sefako Makgatho Drive) upgrades from KM 0.20 to KM 1.6.
The proposed project will require a Basic Assessment, as the project activities trigger listed activities published under GNR. 983 and GNR. 985, as amended. The development will also require a Water Use Authorisation (WUA) from the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) in terms of the National Water Act (NWA, Act No. 36 of 1998). Coastal and Environmental Services (CES) has been appointed to undertake the environmental statutory processes for the project.
