“This new monitoring system should be implemented by mid-November,” said regional manager of the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral), Logashri Sewnarain.

He said two incidents were recently reported where rocks were thrown at passing vehicles from the Blackburn pedestrian bridge.

In the past, the rock throwing had resulted in deaths, he said.

The pedestrian bridge was on the N2 between Blackburn village and Umhlanga.

“We are looking at the design to incorporate a closure of the pedestrian screen at the bridge, to stop criminals from throwing rocks and heavy objects onto the highway below,” he said.

This was expected to be done within two or three months.

Oh my, I wonder how long they will be there before someone swipes them - or destroys them. Night vision cameras will fetch a fairly decent price at the average merchant.

SANRAL planning guys are doff. Why inform the public if they are realy after the culprits? Obviously, they are going to move to another spot - loss of money.
