I've just been informed that the N1 is going to be closed this weekend.

Now, I can't find anything to prove this, can someone confirm this...

They cant do that. Must be some hoax or something.

I did also think that, but 2 clients of mine, 2 who most definately do NOT know each other have told me that this morning.

I've heard nothing, I've seen nothing so I dunno but like I said, just had to ask you guys because you guys always know more (news wise) than I do.

Ok... so either we just 'find out' by letting the weekend come... or... someone 'in the know' rears his head and clears all mystery. :D

N1 is a big road... perhaps just a section of it

Yeah, no I doubt it'll be from Beit Bridge to Cape Town.

Well, I actually guessing its going to probably be most of the N1 in Gauteng. Not sure about the Cape.

Next weekend the N1 both directions are going to be closed at Atterbury
Road bridge for the demolition of the existing Northern bridge.
The fast lane on the Northbound will be closed from Dely bridge and the
traffic will be diverted over the off ramp at Atterbury bridge and back
onto the on ramp onto the N1. This closure will be from Friday at 20:00
until 23:59 on Sunday
The fast lane on the Southbound will be closed from Kings Highway bridge
and the traffic will be diverted over the off ramp at Atterbury bridge and
back onto the on ramp onto the N1. This closure will be from Friday at
20:00 until 23:59 on Sunday.
During this operation portions of the pipe bridge between Atterbury and
Lynwood will be cut and removed.
Pointsmen have been arranged to perform point duty at the crossings on
Atterbury.

This is the email I received.
The roadworks was last weekend.
