Aris Bridge Bypass Nears Completion After Weather-Related Delays. The construction of the two-lane bypass at the Aris Bridge, located on the critical Windhoek-Rehoboth transport corridor, is advancing steadily following delays caused by recent heavy rainfall. The project, designed to meet bitumen road standards, aims to restore safe and efficient traffic flow in both directions.
According to updates from project authorities, the bypass is being developed to accommodate a variety of transport types, including abnormal loads, enhancing road safety and minimizing congestion for road users traveling between Windhoek and Rehoboth. Once completed, the bypass will serve as a crucial detour to ensure uninterrupted vehicular movement while long-term solutions are explored for the Aris Bridge area.
Progress on the construction had slowed in recent weeks due to significant rainfall that affected site access and roadbed stability. However, with improved weather conditions, teams have resumed full-scale activity, and the project is now on track for completion by the end of April 2025.
Authorities have urged the public to exercise caution when driving near the construction site and to adhere to posted speed limits and detour signage.
