R555 covered in mud, traffic grinds to a halt

Traffic has ground to a halt on the R555 (old Witbank road) after mud has been washed across the road surface.

Motorists are advised that traffic is currently standing still from the Puma Filling Station onwards due to the slippery conditions.

The warning was issued this morning on the Traffic Alert WhatsApp group.

Motorists are advised to make use of alternative routes as the mud is covering both lanes of the R555.
