One lane in Miles Stoker Road closed with immediate effect
Due to a sinkhole in Miles Stoker Road, the southbound carriageway is closed and traffic is being directed to the northbound carriageway.
Motorists will have to make do with only one lane available to drive on as the other in Miles Stoker Road has been closed due to a sinkhole.
According to Bertha Peters-Scheepers, the spokesperson for the Johannesburg Road Agency, the sinkhole appeared due to illegal mining activity which included tunneling beneath the road surface.
She added due to safety reasons the northbound carriageway along Miles Stoker Road, between Main Reef Road and Roodepoort, is temporarily closed and traffic is being redirected to the southbound carriageway until further notice.
Peters-Scheepers noted to ensure the safety of the public, additional closures might be introduced.
