The N1 highway (next to the northern suburbs of Cape Town) will be temporarily closed on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 January between the R300 and Durban Road.
According to a notice issued by the provincial transport and public works department, this will be done as workers are set to remove the overhead sign gantries from 19:00 on Saturday until 08:00 on Sunday.
Department spokesperson, Byron La Hoe, says this is part of the project to extend the third lane on the N1 from west of Durban Road to beyond the Old Oak Interchange.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and ask motorists for their patience in the interest of providing better, safer roads for all.”
