Major national and regional routes that will be affected include the N1, N3, N12, R21 and R24 from OR Tambo International Airport, and the M1 in Joburg. Several arterial and urban routes will also experience closures and restrictions. These are:

“Full closures will be implemented on the Golden Highway between Rand Show Road and Soweto Highway from 19 November,” he said.
“On 22 and 23 November, Nasrec Road will be closed between Rand Show Road and Shaft 17 Road, with limited access from the N17 traffic circle towards Shaft 17 Road.”
On 22 and 23 November, the northern portion of Rand Show Road will be closed off between the N1 and Nasrec Road, while the southern portion of Nasrec Road will be converted into a dual carriageway to allow traffic flow to accommodate residents of Omonde View
On November 22 and 23, Booysens Reserve Road will be closed off, and there will be limited access for officials.
“We expect this to happen between 7.30am and 10am,” Fihla said.
