The N1 highway between the Kosmosdal Samrand interchange and the Rooihuiskraal interchange, in Midrand, will experience partial road closures on June 10 and 11 to allow State-owned Eskom to perform essential work necessary to install new overhead transmission power lines and a conductor that supplies electricity to the area, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) says.

The partial road closures will start on June 10, from 06:00 to 18:00, and June 11, from 06:00 to 12:00. The lanes will be closed in stages for a short period of about 30 minutes, however, complete closure will be required when cables are dragged across the road.

Detours have also been identified and will be signposted. Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department and Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department officials will be deployed to monitor and manage traffic and ensure minimal disruptions. Motorists will be diverted via the R101 for the detour route.

The closures may need to be adjusted depending on weather conditions on the day. If needed, a second advisory with information on the new times will be issued.

Sanral warns that these partial closures may introduce disruptions to the normal travel times for motorists travelling in the afternoon, resulting in delays towards the evening. Motorists are advised to plan their trips accordingly, consider the alternative routes recommended and practice caution when using the roads, it says.

"Sanral apologises for any inconvenience caused during this period and will continue to provide updates to road users as information becomes available. The agency takes seriously its mandate from government to manage and maintain the national road network. In so doing, the safety and wellbeing of road users and the communities in which it operates are paramount."
