🇿🇦 Illegal Mining and Excavation beneath the M2 Highway Bridge in Johannesburg have created deep cavities and compromised the bridge's support structures, posing a significant safety risk to thousands of daily commuters‼️ The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) warns that these activities are part of a broader "iceberg" of underground damage caused by zama zamas illegally extracting gold from old mine shafts and blasting support pillars. Extensive tunnelling has led to sinkholes, road collapses, and partial collapses of bridge abutments in areas like Selby, Booysens and along Heidelberg Road. VIDEO: Johannesburg Road Agency. LINK:

Wow! This one is quite interesting. A woman diverted traffic by placing barricades in the middle of the road beneath Lehripura Gate in Vadodara city of Gujarat to shoot her Reel. Seems she was really concerned about the safety of the road users. Gujarat Police shall give her Road Safety Award of the year.

This is the Apo/Wasa road in the FCT. The road is supposed to be a dual carriageway, but Wike ran one lane, not even to the end and organized a commissioning ceremony, even with nothing done on the second lane. Nigeria has never had it this bad. Why commission uncompleted roads?

JOB LOSSES: Several businesses along Monte Cristo Road in Katutura have closed down due to work on that road, which has gone on for more than a year. Many bars, barbershops, hair salons, eateries and carwashes in the area have closed down, leaving their employees unemployed. Motorists who want to visit any of the establishments in the area from the Monte Cristo road are unable to do so because the road does not make provision for passages to these establishments, due to high curbs. “We were not even consulted. We just saw bulldozers in the area…” a local businesswoman, who retained one employee and let four others go, told Namibian Sun.

A massive sinkhole has formed in Edmonton’s Lauderdale neighbourhood, reaching more than ten metres deep near 107 Street and 130 Avenue. The road has been closed since EPCOR responded to reports of roadway damage following last weekend’s heavy rain. Our follower says that while the area has remained closed, no work appears to have been done and the sinkhole continues to grow.

The Vehicular Underpass (VUP) a part of the Coastal road project near the Bandra Worli sea link has been opened yesterday. The underpass which goes below the existing Abdul Gaffar Khan road connects JK Kapoor Chowk—handling traffic from Prabhadevi, Dadar, to the Mumbai Coastal Road. Once the cut-and-cover work is finished, traffic is split into two directions: one towards Bandra and the other onto the southbound Coastal Road.

The road construction on Princess Park Street has been progressing quite well and we grateful for the continued support and patience of the community and road users. The final road layer is in progress and it is anticipated that the surfacing be completed by Friday 12 December 2025. The safety of the road users is the core priority and it is for this reason that the Roads and Transport will implement pre-markings and install temporary stop signs for the entire festive season as the road will be open for traffic soon. As the MMC for Roads and Transport I have visited the site on regular basis since the commencement of construction ,to ensure that the set milestones and commitments to the residents of Tshwane are fulfilled.
