The casting of the Phase 2B bridge deck marked a significant milestone in the development of the freeway connecting Windhoek and Hosea Kutako International Airport. The 97-metre-long structure required a carefully coordinated concrete pour lasting more than 18 hours, followed by several hours of finishing work. Ohorongo CEM II B-V 42.5N cement was used to achieve the specified concrete performance, contributing to a structure designed to meet the demands of this important transport infrastructure project.
