N12 in Lenasia remains closed amid service delivery protest
The Johannesburg metro police urged motorists to make use of alternative routes as the N12 in Lenasia remained closed on Monday morning.
It said while the K43 had been reopened for traffic, Abu Baker Asvat Drive remained closed due to a service delivery protest in the area.
Residents of Nana's Farm Informal Settlement have been protesting over service delivery issues.
JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla said the situation remained tense.
“Police are on the scene and have managed to contain the protesting crowds, and are in the process of reopening the freeway,' he said.
"The closure is causing significant traffic disruptions in the area, with motorists diverting from these closures onto alternative routes, including Impala Road, Protea Boulevard, and Wildchestnut Street in Protea Glen, as well as R554 and Golden Highway in Lehae and Olifantsvlei.
"Motorists are advised to exercise caution and consider using alternative routes such as R554 Nirvana Drive, Golden Highway, K43 Klipspruit Valley Road, Main Road in Eldorado Park, Impala Road, and Chris Hani Road through Soweto.”
