Eskom announces temporary road closures in Bryanston
BRYANSTON – This follows the temporary closure of the N1 Freeway between the William Nicol and Rivonia off-ramps on November 7 in order for teams to work on the same high-voltage power line.
Residents are urged to take note of the following temporary road closures by Eskom on November 16 and 24.
According to a statement by the power utility, the temporary closures will allow teams to replace the optical ground and earth wires on the Craighall-Minerva high-voltage transmission overhead power line.
