Stop-and-go section on R61 from Engcobo towards Mthatha

Eastern Cape, 20 December 2022: The South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) wishes to advise travellers that there is a stop-and-go section on the R61 Section 6 from km 76.2, about 12 kilometres Eastwards from Engcobo towards Mthatha.

The stop-and-go has been put in place because of a slope failure. There are no nearby alternative routes.  Motorists will have to wait for approximately 10 minutes at the stop-and-go. One lane will remain open.

“Motorists are requested to plan their trips accordingly and to use caution when making use of the roads. SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused,” said Mbulelo Peterson, SANRAL Southern Regional Manager.
