Heritage Cases

The proposed Road L1524 upgrade involves the widening and surfacing of an existing gravel road to blacktop. The total portion of the road intended for upgrading is 6,5 km in length and 7 metre wide. The proposed first phase will be between Km 0,0 to Km 3,0. It would appear that the first phase will not trigger any listed activities in terms of National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) as amended and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2010. The second phase that needs to be assessed, will be approximately 3,5 Km in length from Km 3,0 to Km 6,5. The existing L1524 road will be widened from 7 metres to 8 metres. Refer to Appendix B for the Aerial Maps. The Road L1524 transverses two tributaries of the Klip River. There are currently more than two watercourse crossing with causeways, storm water pipes. The proposed upgrade encompasses: • Importing and processing of base-course materials overlay; • Upgrading and construction of drainage structures and culverts where necessary; • Installing Sidewalks and side drains; • And the laying of the asphalt on the total length of the road.
