The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has closed a portion of Peter Road near Walnut Street in Ruimsig due to a collapsed culvert, which, following an inspection by JRA engineers, has been identified as unsafe for travel.  The JRA has installed barricades along the road and erected signage closing off the road for the safety of road users.

JRA is aware of the inconvenience for road users and consequently emergency repairs are scheduled to begin later this week. Exact time frames for completion will be communicated shortly. A water tanker will be brought in to deal with the dust along Walnut and Cypress streets as an interim measure for traffic diversions.

JRA apologizes for the temporary inconvenience and we wish to reassure road users that the urgent reinstatement of the road is a top priority.
