TRAFFIC ADVISORY

BLASTING WORKS ON THE R63 BETWEEN BHISHO AND KEI ROAD

Eastern Cape, 24TH March 2026: The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to notify road users that blasting will take place on the R63 Section 5 (Km 18) between Bhisho and Kei Road on the 1st of April 2026 between 15:00 and 16:00.

The road will be closed for one hour 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 asked to plan their trips accordingly and to use caution when making use of the roads,” said Mbulelo Peterson, SANRAL Eastern Cape Provincial Head.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
