The Johannesburg Road Agency has reported that the southbound carriageway of the M1 heading from Midrand will be reduced to two lanes between the Killarney and St Andrews off-ramps from 30 May.
It is reported that the southern on-ramp onto the M1 from Oxford Road will also be closed at Ettick Road.
The roadworks that are taking place are part of the #M1Rehab project that is allegedly set to continue until June 2017.

However, JRA and the City of Johannesburg have a few suggestions on how to make your morning and evening commute a bit easier.
The Gautrain is fastest option from Sandton into Jhb CBD. Train departs every 12min. 14 min travel time into CBD. #M1Rehab
