Temporary Fast Lane Closures on N2 Near Fort Jackson

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) advises motorists of temporary fast lane closures in both directions (eastbound and westbound) on the N2, Section 15, near Fort Jackson in the Eastern Cape. These closures will take place over two consecutive weekends to allow Eskom to install new overhead transmission power lines.

Closure Schedule

First Weekend:

  • Saturday, 16 November 2024 – 06:00 to 18:00
  • Sunday, 17 November 2024 – 06:00 to 18:00

Second Weekend:

  • Saturday, 23 November 2024 – 06:00 to 18:00
  • Sunday, 24 November 2024 – 06:00 to 18:00

The fast lane closures are necessary to allow for safe installation of overhead power lines. To ensure the safety of workers and motorists, traffic in both directions may be briefly halted for up to 30 minutes when cables are pulled across the road.

Local Traffic Officials will be on-site to manage traffic flow and minimise delays. Motorists are advised to:

  • Plan their trips accordingly, allowing extra travel time, or consider alternate routes.
  • Drive with caution, follow posted speed limits, and be attentive to all signage and instructions from traffic officials.
  • Check real-time traffic updates and road status information during these dates.

Weather conditions on the day may require adjustments to the lane closure schedule. Should any changes be necessary, SANRAL will issue updated information.

“These essential fast lane closures will enable critical power infrastructure to be installed, enhancing service reliability in the area. We urge motorists to be patient and cooperative throughout this period, as every effort is being made to ensure minimal disruption to their journeys,” said Mbulelo Peterson, SANRAL’s Regional Manager for the Southern Region.
