The Gauteng department of roads and transport on Monday said it was getting approval for a contractor to close the sinkhole. <\/a>Melitah Madiba, the department spokesperson, said the hole was caused by an embankment failure on the southbound abutment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incessant rains that fell during December compromised the bridge embankments, and the increased flow in the Kliprivier resulted in the partial collapse of the southbound bridge approach,\u201d Madiba said.<\/p>\n

She said it would take about 10 months to finish the repairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partial collapse of the southbound-bridge approach occurred on December 16 2023, rendering the southbound carriageway unusable.\u201d<\/p>\n
