G20 Summit Triggers Major Road Closures Across Gauteng

Motorists are being urged to avoid key highways this weekend as sweeping road closures come into effect for the G20 summit in Johannesburg. Authorities say sections of the N1, N3, N12, and M1 will face rolling or full shutdowns, with major congestion expected around Sandton, Rosebank and the Nasrec precinct.

Drivers are advised to use alternative routes such as the M57, Beyers Naudé Drive, and Ontdekkers Road, with delays of up to an hour possible on affected corridors. Officials recommend early planning and checking live traffic updates to avoid gridlock during the high security summit.
