The State of the Nation Address will be taking place on Thursday, 11 February 2021.

The City has been advised that many of the ceremonial aspects preceding the SONA will be down-scaled this year. There will be no rehearsals on the days prior to SONA.

As a result, the City’s Traffic Service advises that road closures will be limited to the area around the Parliamentary precinct, the M3 and N2 inbound.

The closures on the main routes will be intermittent, between 18:15 and 19:00 on the day, and will impact on traffic flow.

The City appeals to road users to acquaint themselves with the closures and to plan their routes accordingly.

A detailed list of the road closures, parking restrictions and alternative routes can be found here:
