TRAFFIC ADVISORY

BLASTING ON THE R61 BETWEEN BAZIYA (MTHATHA) AND ALL SAINTS (NGCOBO)

Eastern Cape, 21May 2026: The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to inform road users and surrounding communities that blasting activities will be carried out on the R61 Section 6 between KM 74 and KM 78, between Baziya and All Saints, on Monday, 25TH of May 2026, between 13h00 and 15h00.

To ensure the safety of road users and to allow adequate time for blasting and clean-up operations, the road will be temporarily closed for approximately one hour.

Any alternative routes, including the N2, will result in significantly longer travel times than the anticipated waiting period during the road closure.

“Motorists are asked to plan their trips, accordingly and to use caution when making use of the road,” said Mbulelo Peterson, SANRAL Eastern Cape Provincial Head.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
