The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) advises road users of a road closure caused by flood damage on the R40 national road between White River and Hazyview in Mpumalanga Province. The closure is caused by recent inclement weather conditions in the province.
“The closure of the R40 national road is caused by a slip on the road, which is a hazard for motorists. We have barricaded the area with heavy delineators as temporary measures to make the road safe. Concrete barriers will be used to barricade the road before the end of the week. We have also put a temporary Stop and Go until a permanent solution is put in place,” said Mabuyi Mhlanga, SANRAL’s Provincial Manager for Mpumalanga Province.
SANRAL advises road users to proceed with caution when travelling on the R40 national road, adhere to road warning signs, reduce travel speed and drive with extreme caution in the heavy rains.
