SANRAL would like to notify all motorists about the road closure of a section of the N12 between Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp for a period of six to eight months, due to the existence of a sinkhole in that area.

A temporary precautionary detour will be created, through surfaced median crossings and surfaced shoulder widenings within the N12 road reserve. This median crossing arrangement will be in place by mid-February to early March and traffic can be accommodated in both directions.

SANRAL will ensure that every effort is made to fast-track the process in order to re-open the road as soon as possible.
