5 June 2026, Gauteng – The South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) wishes to advise road users that there are planned closures on the N3 northbound carriageway just before Main Reef Road bridge.

“SANRAL closed the slow lanes as a precautionary measure while it investigates the subsidence of the outer lane resulting from possible undermining. The safety of road users remains a priority, and monthly updates will be communicated on all our communication platforms as well as through the media, to keep the public informed” said Progress Hlahla, SANRAL’s Gauteng Provincial Head.

SANRAL urges all road users to:

• • • Plan their trips accordingly.
    • Adhere to the traffic accommodation signage and the flag persons advance warnings, and
    • Exercise patience and caution while navigating the affected area. 

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused and the roads agency remains committed to improving the safety and quality of our national roads.
