Johannesburg highway flooded

Johannesburg - Motorists should avoid the double-decker M1 south at Newtown because the highway was flooded by rain late on Friday afternoon, Johannesburg metro police said.

Chief Supt Wayne Minnaar said that only one lane of the freeway was open to traffic and that there was congestion due to heavy traffic volumes.

"Motorists can use the M2 or the N1 as alternatives," he said.
