Proposal to upgrade R43

Writer Hedda Mittner

The Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works (DTPW) is proposing to upgrade a portion of Trunk Road 28, Section 1 (also known as the R43) between Lynx Road in Vermont and Mimosa Street in Hermanus.

This section of road passes through the residential suburbs of Vermont and Onrus before it crosses the Onrus River, passes Sandbaai and then through Mount Pleasant, where it terminates at the Mimosa Street / Mountain Drive Intersection in Hermanus. The road section consists of a single carriageway, except for an approximate 2.5 km section of road between the Onrus bridge and the Mimosa Street / Mountain Drive Intersection which is a dual carriageway.
