TRAFFIC IS flowing smoothly through the Beit Bridge border post with few delays and the N1 between Louis Trichardt and Messina is once again fully operational.
They are working like crazy getting the bridge across the Sand river repaired, but we have been using the low water detour and getting through without any real problems, says Piet la Grange, Messina manager of Fourway Haulage.
The bridge was badly damaged in the initial February floods. As a result the low water bridge was installed, but this in turn was washed away twice in subsequent floodings.
The water has subsided now and the replaced detour is operating without delays, says La Grange.
