It causes chaos everytime a truck get stuck under the bridge. Its causes very bad traffic congestion going into Birchleigh and going out of Birchleigh when a truck is stuck.

With current fuel prices one cannot afford extra time sitting and waiting wasting fuel or driving alternative longer routes.

I am tired of Tru k drivers that don't adhere to road rules and cause havoc when they get stuck. This can help for future truck drivers to know that the bride is off limits

I use the Elgin road under the bridge daily and its truly a hassle and utterni convenience with the number of trucks that get stuck under that bridge. Also, the bridge infrastructure is being damage with each stuck truck.

This infrastructure rectification is long overdue. This bridge should have been replaced before the City gave the OK for all the additional units that were built close to the bridge.

Anne Engelbrecht (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

I travel that road every day, and 2 to 3 times a week there is a truck stuck. Why dont they give the drivers heavy penalties or fines? It is just ignorance on the drivers side.

Berdine Rademeyer (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

It is a structural hazard to the bridge and a great time loss for recidents using Elgin Rd. Can't the municipality build a road from Pretoria Rd to Soutpansberg Rd in the vicinity of the Pitch and Pay.

Marius Wessels (Norkem Park, 2022-10-03)

#56

The drivers blatantly ignore the current signs. They have no clue on the size and hight of the trucks they drive. For the drivers who does realise they wont fit block traffic trying to either reverse or turn around

Hannes Engelbrecht (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

Am a concern resident

Willy Mahlangu (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

High vehicles disrupt traffic causing unnecessary disruptiobs. Heavy vehicle drivers do not see the existing signage, suggest a height barrier be placed on Pretoria Road both N and S lanes before the circle anfd on Elgin Road before the traffic lights to allow high body vehicles to divert and use alternative routes.

Johannes Fyfer (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

This bridge has been a problem for as long as I have been in Kempton Park. Put barriers up sothat the truck driver is aware that if he/she hits the barrier they will hit the bridge.

Manlio Molino (Kempton Park, 2022-10-03)

We are continually inconvenienced by truck drivers who do not understand the height signage and block the traffic by either getting stuck or needing to do dangerous backing up movements to avoid the bridge.

One day this bridge, which has stood the test of time in being sturdy, solid and dependable will have taken one too many knocks and come crushing down. In turn this wil cause a multitude of damages and loss of life from the railway line etc. It is also a frustration when you are on time and all of a sudden get caught in traffic due to the bridge being blocked by yet another truck being stuck.
