Bakwena Platinum Corridor Concessionaire is continuing with an important rehabilitation project on the N4 highway between Zeerust and the Botswana border, aimed at improving road safety and ensuring reliable travel for communities, businesses, and cross-border road users. The project represents an investment of R324 million in the long-term condition of this vital route.

The 21-month project commenced in September 2025, including a three-month site establishment period. Construction activities began in February 2026 and are scheduled for completion by June 2027.

While the work is underway, motorists should expect temporary traffic disruptions, including lane closures of approximately five kilometres in each direction. Traffic is being managed using stop/go systems, with possible delays of up to 15 minutes per direction. Road users are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

Bakwena acknowledges the inconvenience that construction activities may cause and appreciates the patience shown by road users and surrounding communities. These upgrades are essential to maintaining a safer, smoother, and more efficient road for everyone who relies on the N4 corridor.

“We thank our communities and motorists for their patience and cooperation as we carry out these necessary improvements. This work will contribute to safer travel and better road conditions for all road users,” said Solly Kganyago, Chief Operating Officer of Bakwena.

Motorists are urged to observe all road signage, reduce speed in construction areas, and remain alert at all times to ensure the safety of both road users and construction teams.
