Several Sandton roads to be closed for William Nicol renaming
Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Xolani Fihla has urged motorists to make use of alternative routes on Tuesday due to the renaming ceremony of William Nicol Drive in Sandton.
Road closures and lane reductions will be in force on the corner of William Nicol and Sandton Drive.
Joburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is set to officially rename William Nicol Drive to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Drive.
Fihla says motorists can expect closures and delays between 9am and 13pm.
"Reduction in the southbound through lanes on William Nicol Drive through the intersection. Closure of the left-turn slip lane as well as through lane from Sandton Drive before the William Nicol Drive intersection. Motorists should make use of the right-turn lanes to execute left turn and through movements.
"Closure of one of the exclusive right-turn lanes northbound on William Nicol Drive just before the Sandton Drive intersection. Reduction in the left-turn lane northbound on William Nicol Drive just before the Sandton Drive intersection."
Officers will be present to regulate traffic and remove obstructions at affected routes, adds Fihla.
