Special Maintenance for Slope Stability on National Route R58 Section 5 from Lady Grey (Km 0) to Barkly East (Km 66.1)

 Blasting Works on the R58 between Lady Grey and Barkly East

Eastern Cape, 4 February 2025: The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to notify travellers that blasting will take place on the R58 Section 5 (Km 16.7) between Lady Grey and Barkly East on Tuesday, 11 February  at 12pm.

The road will be closed for 30 minutes to allow sufficient time for the blasting and cleaning-up operations and to ensure safety for the travelling public.

Unfortunately, there are no suitable alternative routes in this section. Any alternative routes would take a longer travelling period than the waiting period at the closure.

“Motorists are requested to plan their trips accordingly and to use caution when making use of the roads,” said Mbulelo Peterson, SANRAL Southern Region’s Regional Manager.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
