Rain collapses parts of Boatle interchange

Addressing the media earlier, the Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport and Public Works Isaac Moepeng said last night there was an embankment at the interchange causing the bridge protection to collapse.

“We are still observing to find out what transpired. We have realised the visuals and haven’t conducted investigations as yet. Panels that were merged by seal have collapsed making it easy for water to penetrate and pass through. We have observed some cracks on the other side as well, which shows that the same situation might happen,” he said.
