Organisers of the Telkom 947 Cycle Challenge have urged motorists to take note of wide-ranging road closures ahead of Johannesburg’s biggest cycling race on Sunday, 18 November.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s route has been flipped, meaning the previous year\u2019s start will now be the finish line and vice-versa.<\/p>\n

This is expected to have a significant impact on Joburg\u2019s roads between 04h00 and 15h00, and the City of Johannesburg has\u00a0advised motorists to use alternative routes during the affected times to travel to their destinations.<\/p>\n

The annual ride will start and finish at the Riversands Commercial Park just off the R511 in Fourways.<\/p>\n

It will continue through the streets of Joburg from Steyn City Boulevard through to Cedar Road, via Witkoppen Road, up through Jan Smuts Avenue until the M1 South and back.<\/p>\n

Cyclists will ride home through the R55, via Summit Road and back up to the finish line along Riversands Boulevard.<\/p>\n

To ensure the safety of all cyclists, the city has also ratified the closure of arterial roads, including the M1, Jan Smuts Avenue and several other routes in the Inner City.<\/p>\n

Closed routes will be manned by the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) and no access will be granted during the bicycle ride.<\/p>\n
