Alternative routes to avoid the Buccleuch Interchange accident

There’s been a fatal accident at the Buccleuch Interchange and motorists have been advised to use alternative routes:

If you’re already on the highway:

• To head to Midrand, use Pretoria Main Road. Or if you need to travel from Midrand to Sandton, this also applies.

• To travel toward Woodmead, you can attempt to catch the R55.

If you’re not yet on the highway:

• From Sandown side to Sunninghill or Kyalami, use the M85 (Bowling Avenue)
