Motorists warned of delays amid G20 ‘dry run’ in GP this weekend

Several major roads across Gauteng will be closed to traffic between Friday and Saturday, for a dry run, ahead of next month’s G20 summit.

World leaders will gather in Johannesburg to discuss pressing global challenges and promote economic growth and collaboration.

Motorists are urged to plan in advance and use alternative routes, as high-security roads such as the N1, N3, and R24 will be affected.

The joint operation will take place in Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg, with closures on Rivonia Road, Grayston Drive, Jan Smuts Avenue, and Nasrec Road.
