Daspoort tunnel to be closed for weekend maintenance
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes as they will not be able to access the tunnel.
The Tshwane metro has advised motorists that the Daspoort tunnel will be undergoing maintenance on June 21 and 22.
Bremer Street will be closed between Deborah and Market streets from 08:00 until 16:00 on both days.
Toward the end of April, MMC for Roads and Transport Tlangi Mogale led a similar effort. The work entailed filling potholes, cleaning stormwater drains and other repairs.
Ward 1 councillor Leon Kruyshaar, who has said that the tunnel is synonymous with several issues, urged motorists to avoid the tunnel this weekend as much as they could.
“Please do not think you can use this tunnel on Saturday and Sunday, it will definitely be closed up. They may allow access in the evening, but I can tell you for sure, not between 08:00 and late afternoon,” Kruyshaar said.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, such as the following:
– Es’kia Mphahlele Drive
– Van Der Hoff Road
– The R80
– N4 Magalies Freeway.
Stakeholders have apologised to residents for the inconvenience.
