ProposalDescription: 

SANRAL received authorisation for the upgrade of the N1/s14 between Trompsburg and Fonteintjie. In relation to this project three borrow pits were authorised by DMR to provide material for the upgrade. It was subsequently determined that a further two borrow pits would be required to satisfy the material requirements of the rehab of the N1/s14. An archaeological assessment was conducted for these borrow pits ( Borrow Pits A and B) as part of the heritage assessment.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The N1 is one of the most important routes in the country and is used by a high number of heavy vehicles. It is the main route between Gauteng (Johannesburg)and the Western Cape (Cape Town), as well as to the Eastern Cape (Port Elizabeth). According to the Kopanong Annual Report (Kopanong, 2012) the road network in the region needs to be maintained. The road condition is deteriorating rapidly and very little maintenance is done due to lack of funding. It is important to maintain and upgrade main routes in order to continue the flow of traffic through the area. Failure to rehabilitate the road before it becomes a major problem would therefore result in significant adverse effects to the National Economy as well as to the safety of all those that use the road.
