First Mabasa says that it will take months to repair and then the Lowveld says 2 weeks O/ Which is the right one? 0*\ The lack of accuracy makes me 0- 0=

How about this:
Lowesabie bridge is closed due to water level . All gravel roads closed due to rain and some flooding. Then they start to protest at Hazyview area and there is no access to Numbi,phabeni or Kruger gate ... Do i now leave at orpen and enter at Malelane ? This little road is a real problem.

Welcome Boerseun,

Ja, if the Lower Sabie bridge is under water it's a big problem! :-?

They took longer than 4 years to fix the bridge over the Olifants river near Balule , so why should they hurry with this one ?

Besides , that part of the park falls within Mpumalanga , and we know how long it takes to fix roads in that province , especially if it's not not a toll-road O** .

So , I think one should accept that this will not be an exception :O^

Not to talk about the the bridge across the Crocodile River leading to the CR rest Camp. I think that it has been re-build 2 or 3 times 0*\

I think they will go with a temp solution and that will only be a few weeks, there is a lot of traffic that needs to travel on this road. It is a vital road this one so cant have it out for long. \O \O

In order to make a detour there will always be a river to pass, both to the east and to the west -O-
