“The closure will affect traffic on both northbound and southbound carriageways of the N3 highway. Traffic officials will divert traffic off the N3,” read the statement.
Eskom apologises for any inconveniences that road users may experience. For further enquiries, road users may contact the Eskom Contact Centre on 08600 37566.
