Remedial work on the Highfield Road to Malabar which was closed on Wednesday this week is nearing completion and the road will be opened tomorrow morning, Saturday 13 August 2011.
A storm water pipe running below the surface burst and the road was beginning to collapse, posing a serious safety risk for motorists. Given the work that has been done since yesterday, we are confident the road will be reopened around 09:00 tomorrow.
The road was closed at the T-Junctions of Gelvan and Haworthia Roads. While the road will be opened tomorrow, motorists are requested to drive at a slow speed of 40km and heavy vehicles are requested to continue using the alternative route until Monday.
