Traffic congestion around the newly built Emeris campus in Sandown has reached unsustainable levels, according to residents, who say since the campus opened, the surrounding infrastructure is overwhelmed.

On Tuesday, before the afternoon rush, traffic along Grayston Drive and the surrounding arterial roots was heavily congested.

Vehicles attempting to enter the campus created a backlog stretching along residential roads and towards Rivonia Road.

Jill Hagley, a Strathavon resident of more than 30 years, said the situation has deteriorated significantly since the campus opened.
