The 36 month N4 upgrade project commenced in March 2018 and included the addition of a 28km second carriageway on the N4 between the M17 and R512 (Brits interchange) and R511 interchange addition of west-facing ramps. The works included the construction of a new bridge over the Crocodile River and extensions to five existing bridges which cross the section of the N4 being dualled.

"Bakwena is committed to ensuring the N1N4 route conforms to international standards - road safety of our motorists is our number one priority and we are confident the addition of the second carriageway not only improves safety of motorists traveling the route but also improves motorists driving experience," says Solomon Kganyago, chief operations officer, Bakwena.
