Centurion’s road reopens after R4.4m sinkhole repairs

THREE-YEAR CLOSURE

- RAPULA MOATSHE

AFTER completing R4.4 million in repairs, the City of Tshwane has reopened Amcor Road in Centurion, which was closed for three years due to a massive sinkhole.

Kholofelo Morodi, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Region 4, was thrilled to announce the official reopening of the road after extensive repairs were completed on the large sinkhole that had forced its closure since April 2022.

She said the reopening marks not only the restoration of a vital road but also the city’s commitment to rebuilding infrastructure and restoring public trust.

The sinkhole was caused by a severe underground water leak that destabilised the entire width of the road. At the time, it was estimated to be approximately 12 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 18 meters deep.
