N12 West in Alberton closed after drive-by shooting

JOHANNESBURG - Four lanes have been closed on the N12 West in Alberton after a drive-by shooting on Wednesday afternoon.

Police and the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department are investigating the matter.

Motorists going to Alberton have been urged to use the on-ramp to Michelle Street on the N12 or use City Deep Road and the on-ramp on Majuba.

EMPD’s Millicent Kekana said this has caused disruptions from the N3 South and the R24, and the N12 West before the Edenvale on-ramp.

"Do take note of an incident causing heavy traffic delays on the N12 West just before the Redding Interchange off-ramp. The Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department and South African Police Service (SAPS) are on scene."

Motorists were advised to use alternative routes.
