Buffelsfontein Road Closed as Culvert Collapses

By

A big culvert (underground stormwater crossing the road) on Buffelsfontein Road collapsed this morning disrupting traffic.

To prevent congestion and allow for road maintenance works to start immediately, the municipality will close the road at the Swift and 10th Avenue intersections. From the western side traffic will be redirected to Swift Road through to Sparrow Avenue and via 10 Avenue from the eastern side.

Recent rains have put pressure on the storm water and electrical infrastructure, among other things, and engineers and electricians have been responding swiftly to potential disruptions in service delivery. A contractor is preparing to start work immediately on Buffelsfontein Road which is expected to remain closed for the next two weeks.
