Temporary lane closures will be implemented by Bombela Civils Joint Venture (CJV) along Nelson Mandela Boulevard to allow for the construction of a Gautrain viaduct (concrete bridge structure) across the road.
The viaduct will be constructed alongside the existing SARCC bridge at the entrance and exit to and from Pretoria. The construction team will establish a site in the median of Nelson Mandela Boulevard to allow for construction of a viaduct pier (pillar). This will result in the partial closure of the north and southbound right (fast) lanes for approximately 200 metres. Lanes will be reduced from four to three lanes close to the construction site with the rest of the road flowing as a normal four lane road.
The works will commence on 25 October 2008 and continue over the next four (4) months. Upon completion of the viaduct, the Gautrain alignment will cross over Nelson Mandela Boulevard from a southerly direction towards the Pretoria Station, and will run parallel to the SARCC line from the Pretoria to Hatfield Stations.
Gautrain would like to encourage motorists and pedestrians to be aware of traffic signage along the road during construction.
For further information, the public is advised to kindly contact the Gautrain Call Centre on 0800 GAUTRAIN (42887246) or visit the Gautrain website on www.gautrain.co.za
