Roads close for William Nicol’s renaming process

The City of Johannesburg’s entity, Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA), has issued a public service announcement to inform the public and commuters about upcoming lane reductions at the Winnie Mandela Drive (William Nicol Drive)/Sandton Drive intersection planned for September 26.

The city and JRA advise commuters to expect delays between 09:30 and 12:00.

The lane reduction at the intersection is expected to impact commuters in the following ways:

• Reduction in the southbound through lanes on William Nicol Drive through the intersection

• Closure of the left-turn slip lane as well as through lane from Sandton Drive before the William Nicol Drive intersection. Drivers should make use of the right-turn lanes to execute left turn and through movements.

• Closure of one of the exclusive right-turn lanes northbound on William Nicol Drive just before the Sandton Drive intersection

• Reduction in the left-turn lane northbound on William Nicol Drive just before the Sandton Drive intersection.

“Please plan your travel accordingly and consider alternative routes if possible; our team is working to minimise disruptions, but delays are anticipated during this time,” said JRA in a statement. “We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience; Your safety is our priority, so please drive cautiously through the reduced lanes, follow all posted signs, and be mindful of people in the intersection.”
