Motorists are urged to make use of alternative routes during the closure of the notorious R30 road between Allanridge and Welkom in the Free State.
The provincial Department of Police, Roads and Transport previously announced the closure of the road as it is considered unsafe.
The departmental spokesperson, Hillary Mophethe, stated that motorists travelling between Allanridge and Bothaville should make use of the S1075 secondary road and the R719 road.

Mophethe, in a statement, further says motorists are urged to drive carefully and adhere to the additional safety signs that were erected along the alternative roads. Motorists should also show patience and courtesy towards fellow road users as these routes are carrying heavier than usual traffic.
