This closure will result in travelling time delays, interruptions, and access to properties and dwellings.

“The works to be currently undertaken is the resealing or intersections which is aimed at prolonging the road life expectancy and improve road safety within the municipality,” said municipal spokesperson Mr Lebo Mofokeng.

The works will include road lane closures, traffic accommodation, and stoppages.

If all goes well, the work will be completed by November 30.
