LANE CLOSURE ON THE R61 SECTION 6 FROM ALL SAINTS TO BAZIYA

Eastern Cape, 30th March 2026 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) would like to inform road users of a lane closure on the R61 Section 6, between All Saints, KM 68.80 and Baziya KM 78.20. This lane closure is ongoing, and the goal is to complete Section 1 (KM 68.50 to KM 77.27) at the end of April 2026 and Section 2 (KM 77.27 to KM 86.65) at the end of May 2026.

To accommodate the Easter weekend traffic volumes, there will be no lane closures from the 1st of April 2026 to the 7th of April 2026. Lane closures will resume on Wednesday, the 8th of April 2026.

A stop-and-go between KM 68.80 and KM 69.70 is in place to accommodate road widening works. A second stop-and-go is in place at patching sections between KM 77.20 and KM 78.30.

“Motorists can expect a delay of between 10 to 20 minutes or less and the required reduction in travelling speed will be posted along the closure to ensure everyone’s safety.

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

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
