The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) would like to remind road users about the closure of the M2 motorway between Crown Interchange and Maritzburg Street. The implementation of the full closure will commence tomorrow morning, 28 February 2019, at 6am to allow the bridge rehabilitation to resume.
The full closure will remain in force up until the end of October 2019. The closure is necessitated by the continuous monitoring and the bridge visual conditions assessment which indicated that the structural integrity of the concrete elements is severely reduced.
