Kleinbaai Lifestyle Estate Residents Anticipate Road Upgrades to Hermanus

by Cèline Haarhoff

Road TR28/2, from Hermanus to Gansbaai

Rehabilitation and upgrading of Trunk Road 28 section 2 (between Hermanus and Gansbaai).

For all Kleinbaai Lifestyle Estate residents, this is an exciting forecast indeed.

The road upgrades along TR28/2 are not just about keeping our roads safe, but they’re paving the way for significant district improvement and future developments in the area.

TR28/2 serves as a vital link between Hermanus, Stanford, and Danger Point Peninsula, where Kleinbaai Lifestyle Estate is located. Phase 1, from Hermanus to Stanford, was completed between 2018 and 2022, and now, we’re thrilled to announce that Phase 2, extending from Stanford to Gansbaai, is nearing completion.

Phase 2 Overview:

• Location: Stanford to Gansbaai
• Period: 2022 to 2024

The current road has a surface width of 6.4m and 1.5m unsurfaced shoulders that does not comply with the standard Class 1 cross-section.  The road has a mobility function and also gives access to agricultural land, smallholdings, holiday resorts as well as several nature conservancies.  The area is known for its wine industry, holiday resorts and several tourist-based activities with no large industrial development present.

Here’s what the road upgrade entails:

• Widening the road to an 11.4m surfaced width
• Enhancing alignment for a safer travel experience
• Strengthening the pavement structure for future traffic demands
• Addressing existing flooding issues with upgraded stormwater structures
• Ensuring safety measures for access and improved signage

Construction for Phase 2 commenced in August 2022 and is set to conclude by December 2024.

Get ready for smoother drives, safer journeys, and a promising future for our Overberg Municipal District.
