span and 2,2m height and approximate length of 46m with the ends outside the
road reserve boundaries on both sides. The culvert has been designed to comprise
five sections of equal length to facilitate stage construction accommodating the
traffic on the existing road.
3.6 Temporary Works
Accommodation of traffic for the construction of the widening of Road D567 to be

done such that the traffic on Road D567 remains on the existing road.
New temporary gravel roads to be provided next to the existing gravel roads to
allow construction of the full width and length of the upgraded Access Roads.
Access currently provided by the existing Access Roads to be provided at all times
from the temporary road during construction.
A temporary by-pass road to be provided within the road reserve of Road D567 to
allow the first phase construction of the conveyor culvert underneath Road D567.
For the second phase of the culvert construction, the traffic has to be diverted back
onto the existing Road D567.
Consultation for the traffic accommodation needs to be done with the individual
property owners and relevant authorities. The proposed traffic accommodation is
indicated on the drawings.
