The City of Tshwane would like to notify motorists around the Valhalla area in Centurion to avoid using the Snake Valley Road(M24) between Old Johannesburg(R101) and Fjord Road.
The above-mentioned part of the road has been closed after large cracks were noticed on the road last week, Thursday, 27 October 2022. At first, only one lane of the road was affected but it later extended across the roadway to affect all four lanes.
On 28 and 29 October 2022, the affected area was observed to be increasing in size and depth and was classified as a sinkhole. The sinkhole-affected area extends from inside the military property, across the road and up to the verge on the southern side.
It must be emphasized that the road is unsafe for both motorists and pedestrians. The city urges all members of the public around the Valhalla area to exercise caution in the area and map alternative routes during their daily travels.
The city is currently busy with investigations to determine the extent of the sinkhole in order to prepare for road rehabilitation.
