Gqeberha, 3 September August 2024 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to notify road users of scheduled blasting that will take place on the N2 between KwaBhaca, formerly known as Mount Frere, and eMaxesibeni, formerly Mount Ayliff, at approximately 15h00 on Thursday, 5 September 2024.

The blast will occur at locations approximately 6.5km, 15km and 26.4km from KwaBhaca when traveling towards eMaXesibeni. The road will be temporarily closed during the blast.

While every effort will be made to minimise the duration of the closure, the road could be closed for up to 30 minutes.
