SANRAL says there will be a partial closure of N1 in Midrand this weekend.
This weekend, there will be some partial road closures along the N1 in Gauteng, as announced by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL).
Between the Kosmosdal Samrand Interchange and the Rooihuiskraal Interchange in Midrand, there will be some partial traffic closures.
In a statement released by SANRAL they said that depending on the weather that day, the closures could need to be changed and that the new times will be disclosed in a second alert, if necessary.
“These partial road closures are required to allow Eskom to perform essential work necessary to install new overhead transmission power lines and a conductor which supplies electricity to the area.”
“SANRAL advises that only daytime closures will be applied on Saturdays from 6am to 6pm, and Sundays from 6am and 12pm. The lanes will be closed in stages for a short period of around 30 minutes, however, complete closure will be required when cables are dragged across the road,”
“SANRAL warns that these partial closures may introduce disruptions to the normal travel times for motorists travelling in the afternoon, resulting in delays towards the evening. Detours have also been identified and will be signposted. Johannesburg Metropolitan Police (JMPD) and Tshwane Metropolitan Police (TMPD) officials will be deployed to monitor and manage traffic and ensure minimal disruption.”
“Motorists will be diverted via the R101 for the detour route. Motorists are advised to plan their trips accordingly, consider the alternative routes recommended and practise caution when using the roads,” SANRAL said.
