Johannesburg city manager Floyd Brink said on Wednesday methane is lighter than air and it travelled up along the services tunnel, from an unknown source to the crest of a tunnel near Von Brandis Street.
Brink addressed journalists along with mayor Kabelo Gwamanda and consultant and civil engineer Johan La Grange on Wednesday. He said the estimated cost for repairs was R178m but that might change once the municipality receives the detailed designs for the entire project. “This will include the redesign of that particular road. It's an estimate, we are not at a detailed design stage.
