Upgrade of Road DR08017 located Near Cedarville in the Umzimvubu Municipality, Eastern Cape Province

The DR08017 is a gravel road located within the Umzimvubu Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province and is used as a daily thoroughfare for commuters between Cedarville and Mt Frere. The DR08017 route intersects the N2 to the South, travels through eGangeni and Makolonini and ties back into an existing gravel road to the North-East. To ensure that the road is safe and fully functional, the Eastern Cape Department of Transport has proposed to upgrade a portion of the DR08017 by paving it to blacktop surface from the R56 at Cedarville to the N2 in Mount Frere. The portion of the road to be paved is approximately 24km in length from Km 48+00 to Km 72+00.
