Namibia’s most dangerous stretch of road is set to be upgraded by Aveng Grinaker-LTA in an N$ 239 million contract.
The project entails upgrading the B1 motorway to a dual carriageway between Windhoek and Okahandja, from 24.5 kmto 34.5 km, states Aveng Grinaker-LTA Civil Engineering divisional managing director Richard Evans. It will comprise 691 000 m3 of mass earthworks and 324 000 m2 of single seal (Cape Seal) surfacing. The company will also undertake the construction of two interchanges, each with a north and south bound bridge, Evans notes. In addition, a 4.5 km service road will be constructed to create access to the plots next to the carriageways.
