TEMPORARY CLOSURE 
OF R512 INTERCHANGE

Bakwena Platinum Corridor Concessionaire (Pty) Ltd (Bakwena) would like to inform road users of the temporary closure of the R512 interchange with immediate effect for a period of approximately 10 months (March 2020). 

Safety of road users using the Bakwena N1N4 route is a priority. The temporary closure of the R512 bridge has resulted in road users not obeying the temporary road construction signage and not abiding by the rules of the road, thereby creating dangerous conditions for other motorists on the N4.

Road users are advised to make use of alternative routes such as the recently upgraded R511 interchange to get to their destinations in Brits and Hartbeespoort. 

The closure of the R512 interchange is part of the works related to the addition of 32km of a second carriageway on the N4 between the M17 in Tshwane and R512 (Brits interchange).

To ensure the N1N4 route meets the highest international standards continuous maintenance, rehabilitation and upgrades are necessary. Bakwena would like to thank motorists for their patience while work is being carried out and would like to advise them to adhere to all designated road signs and exercise caution throughout the construction process where heavy equipment and trucks will be operating.
