Road Closures in Summerstrand This Sunday

By

Earlier on in the day, the metro will also be playing host to the Standard Bank 5150 and FUNTRI triathlon event which will see some road closures in Summerstrand on the day. However, the road closures will only be active from the morning until 12h30 on Sunday – well in advance ahead of the Guinness PRO14 match kick-off at 15h00, therefore not affecting rugby supporters who intend attend the game.
