Flood-hit Centurion road closed 'until further notice'
The City of Tshwane says the recent heavy rains have resulted in the closure of End Street, Rabie Street and John Voster Drive intersection.
This is due to the damage caused to a road surface leading to the low-water End Street Bridge in Centurion.
Spokesperson Lindela Mashigo says engineers conducted a visual inspection that revealed a section of the road intersection leading to the bridge has been washed away.
“The road layer works need to be reconstructed before the road surface can be patched. If all goes according to plan, it will take approximately 3 weeks to complete, though the start date for repairs cannot be stated as the road layers are still highly saturated.
Mashigo says the intersection will be closed until further notice to allow further assessments and the implementation of additional safeguarding measures.
“The city pleads with motorists not to remove the barriers. The unauthorised use of the road is bound to cause further damage to the road surface and may, at worst, damage their vehicles, leading to possible injuries to the occupants. It is not in anybody’s best interest to make use of a road that is compromised.
