Angry Johannesburg motorists have taken to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
This is the same bridge that had months long extensive maintenance and repair works. How on earth can these drains be blocked?

Money down the drain literally, closing the double dekker to rehabilitate the drainage. @CityofJoburgZA @MyJRA should be bowing their heads in shame by using dubious contractors
