It’s go time for Westown with main contractors Stefanutti Stocks moving onto site. The establishment of the Westown site will take place throughout the month of September and early in October, we will see the first signs of construction.
The construction of Westown will begin with the much-needed upgrade of Kassier Rd, which forms part of the overall R733 million infrastructure investment in roads and services needed to enable this development.
This upgrade will involve two new bridges and the total make-over of the two-lane Kassier Rd across the M13 and N3 into four lanes with a centre median, with intersection signalisation at key points, a new pedestrian bridge over the N3 and a new access loop ramp and bridge over Kassier Road into Westown. In 2025, phase 2 of the road upgrade will begin with Kassier road being upgraded from Alverstone Road to the R103.
The eThekweni Municipality will be contributing R600 million to the overall infrastructure upgrades.
Running in tandem with the Kassier Rd upgrade is the earthworks component of the Westown Square retail hub. Construction of this trigger phase of Westown will begin in September 2022 for completion by September 2024.
Stefanutti Stocks are part of a stellar local development team who are eager to get moving on this ground-breaking, locally-driven initiative.
