South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) GFIP project manager Alex van Niekerk says the biggest portion of GFIP construction tenders had already been awarded by May last year. These seven works packages are to be progressively completed from May 2010 up to 2011.
...Subsequent to the first tranch of seven contracts awarded by May last year, the contract for the R21 upgrade from Pretoria to the Pomona off-ramp, near Benoni, was awarded later in 2008.
However, this project will already be completed before the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in June, says Van Niekerk.
