Description: Formwork on the city side lane of the freeway over the Culemborg goods yards has now linked up and the deck should be complete with six weeks. The Woodstock lane will be finished well under the five months, thereby enabling the contractors to finish the R 4-million contract three months ahead of the December 3 contract completion date. A spokesman for the contractors said the speed of the work was due in part to the co-operation of South African Railways who 'did all they could to allow us to work unhindered by their traffic,' and to the relatively few south-easters this summer. Cranes had been used 15 percent more than usual for this time of the year.
