A long-standing road freight issue involving a bridge with a three-metre height restriction sign clearly visible on the one side but apparently lacking such a warning on the other side, continues to disrupt traffic flow on the East Rand in Gauteng.
Situated on Elgin Road near the Pretoria Road T-junction, the notorious underpass is clearly for use by low-clearance vehicles only, but trucks violating the height restriction regularly get stuck underneath the bridge.
A concerned citizen using the M89 Elgin Road said a truck got stuck under the bridge at least once a week.
