Pretoria Road: Nightmare upon nightmare
Read what some frustrated motorists had to say
As if it is not enough that motorists cannot travel along Pretoria Road towards the Elgin Road subway because of storm damage, more frustration slipped in, in peak hour traffic this afternoon – a truck got stuck (again) underneath the bridge.
Residents queuing resorted to social media trying to find an answer, just to get the answer they did not want.

Despite various warning signs that you are approaching a low bridge (3m), a truck driver again tried his luck – and failed.
A section of Pretoria Road at Beukes Road had been closed earlier this week due to storm damage, already creating problems at the subway and along the busy route.
Some of the comments posted on Facebook:
“Ek’s gatvol verby vir trokke wat onder Elgin-brug vassit!!!! Gaan iemand iets hieraan doen?”
“Ek ook. Sit al 30 minute.”
“Hulle is flippen idiote. Sal nooit verander nie.”
“En dit is nie ‘n klein trok nie. Dit is ‘n m**rse trok!! Na hierdie week is dit nou nie nodig nie. Ek voel so stressed out.”
