Following the heavy rains this past weekend in parts of KwaZulu-Natal, the Umbongintwini River Bridge on the N2 experienced a failure which resulted in road closure, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.
SANRAL specialist engineers are currently on site to assess the extent of the damage and remedial action to be taken. The Southbound carriageway over the bridge has been closed from Joiner Road and vehicles are being diverted to alternative routes. Motorists are advised to be cautious when approaching the site, said Vusi Mona, SANRAL’s General Manager of Marketing and Communications.
