This follows the arrest of truck drivers leading the blockade near Montrose last night.
Another blockade was reported at Balmoral but quick action of the SAPS saw it being dealt with very quickly without causing much hassles for motorists.
A tanker was burned on the N12 near Kingsway road causing massive delays. It could not be immediately established if this was related to the truck driver strike.
Red Alert!
