As much as R29m has been budgeted for sinkhole repairs in Tshwane for 2022/23

A new death trap has been allowed to mushroom on one of the country's most deadly routes - Moloto Road - which links Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo.

At the height of the recent devastating rains in KwaZulu-Natal, many roads were affected and closed, meaning some communities were cut off from the outside world. This meant that goods and provisions could not reach those communities.

The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) has warned motorists of the closure of the N1 in Centurion between Sunday and Monday.

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to notify road users to expect road closures to allow for geotechnical investigations required for the rehabilitation of the N1 sinkhole near the Flying Saucer Interchange in Centurion. These investigations are required to complete the design of the remedial works required for the rehabilitation of the sinkhole to promote road safety and to allow for traffic to return to normal.

The N1 freeway in Centurion will be closed this Sunday and Monday, the SA National Roads Agency said on Thursday.
