A number of cars were damaged on Friday during blasting operations at a Gautrain construction site on the N1 north at Centurion, the Bombela Concession Company said.
”During a routine blasting operation, 20m underground, fly rock from the Gautrain construction site accidentally landed on the road, causing damage to a few cars near the John Vorster interchange,” said spokesperson Kelebogile Machaka.
She said no injuries were sustained and blasting was immediately halted.
”The N1 northbound was temporarily closed until the Bombela construction team had checked the road conditions. The road has since been reopened.”
No further details were available. — Sapa
