Alternate Code & Name: Bridge 2
Bridge 2 is underlain by sedimentary bedrock (Pa), covered by a foundation of building rubble and Quaternary alluvial overbank deposits from the Van Zyls River . There is no evidence for the accumulation and preservation of intact fossil material within the Quaternary sediments. This is especially indicated by sterile Quaternary profiles exposed along the riverbanks where the N1 crosses the Van Zyls River. Superficial deposits on both sides of the bridge are heavily disturbed as a result of previous road-building activities. The underlying sedimentary rocks (Pa) are moderately significant and potential fossil heritage may be affected if substantial bedrock excavations are to be conducted here.
