Motorists in Pretoria east are cautioned to take note of the full-time closure of the Atterbury and Justice Mahomed intersection this week.
The intersection will be closed to traffic from 18:00 to 06:00 for tar work to take place.
It is, however, unclear if the scheduled work will begin on April 30 or May 1.
According to ward councillor Siobhan Muller, they are hoping to start tonight.
“It is going to depend on the final arrangement otherwise, it will be tomorrow night,” she said.
“We’re really just asking the residents and the businesses and so on, it is at night, please just take alternative routes,” she said.
She advised motorists to use alternative roads for the next three nights.
“If they come off the highway, they would be able to drive through on to Justice Mahomed. My concern is if they come there, they just need to be aware that there’s going to be a closure of that intersection,” she said.
She said they can reroute across Garsfontein Road or other alternatives to avoid delays.
The decision to schedule the work at night was strategic.
Muller explained that this is a very good time to begin the work.
“It’s a very good time to do it because of all the holidays, a lot of people will be away.”
Muller said she will update the residents as soon as the work is completed.
