The South African government has identified the N2 national Wild Coast road network as one of its key Strategic Integrated Projects to catalyse economic growth at a national, provincial and local level.

pedestrian walkways and agricultural under and overpasses

The area is notorious for its stray animals. Hopefully, it will help keep the roads clear.

Oh yay... Mr Fix is now advertising projects as being "new" that have been on the cards for for a good long while, and have been mired in court challenges and community activisim (for very good reason) since at least 2018..

Its also largely a fscking waste of time, if they're going to spend the money realigning the N2 it needs to bypass Umtata ffs, that place is a new breed to hellhole.

The N2 Wild Coast Road, which stretches 410 km from the Gonubie Interchange in East London to the Mtamvuna river near Port Edward, will shorten the current distance by 85 kilometres in comparison to the current route.

This will mean a travel time saving of between one-and-a-half to three hours for road-users once it is completed saving the economy R1.5 billion annually, Sanral has said.

The ANC:
We will spend billions building a bridge to make travel times shorter, which will make doing business easier for anyone using the route. This will grow the economy.

Also the ANC:
We will have the most draconian labour laws in the world. We will require all businesses to subject their employees and owners to a pencil test. We will give ourselves the right to take any piece of property that your business owns. This will also grow the economy.
