TRAFFIC ADVISORY
Blasting on the N2 between KwaBhaca and eMaXesibeni, Eastern Cape
Gqeberha, 11 September 2024 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) wishes to notify road users of scheduled blasting that will take place on the N2 between KwaBhaca, formerly known as Mount Frere, and eMaXesibeni, formerly Mount Ayliff, at approximately 15h00 on Wednesday, 11 September 2024.
The blast will take place approximately 15.6 kilometers from KwaBhaca toward eMaXesibeni. During this time, the road will be closed for up to 30 minutes.
Motorists traveling from Kokstad to Mthatha, should consider taking one of these alternate routes:
- Exit the N2 at Matatiele and take Tlokoeng (formerly Mount Fletcher) route, or
- Go via Flagstaff and Lusikisiki to Port St Johns on the R61, then rejoin the N2 in Mthatha.
The alternative routes are about 69 kilometers longer and may add around 50 minutes to your trip.
Motorists traveling from Mthatha to Kokstad can use the same alternate routes.
“We urge motorists to plan their trips accordingly, consider alternative routes and take caution while using the roads,” advised Mabuyi Mhlanga, Acting Regional Manager for SANRAL’s Southern Region.
SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
