N3 Toll Route I Traffic Alert | EXTREMELY SLOW, RESTRICTED TRAFFIC MOVEMENT BETWEEN KZN AND FS | 22 September at 15:00
22 September 2024 | Department of Transport
Road incident management teams have now begun to clear trucks and light motor vehicles that have been caught in the gridlock between Van Reenen and Swinburne (Montrose). Extremely slow and restricted traffic movement is now being facilitated via Van Reeenen Pass (in both directions between Tugela Plaza in KwaZulu-Natal and Harrismith in the Free State) to clear the current backlog of traffic, many of whom have been stranded in the area since Friday night.
Note: The N3 Toll Route REMAINS CLOSED TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. Mobility will only be fully restored once ALL stranded vehicles, and those in the backlog have been removed from the area, and once authorities confirm that it is safe to do so.
Please do not rush to make your way to the section of the Route between
Kwazulu-Natal and the Free State. You will be caught up in the extensive backlog, creating further congestion and delays in the area.
N3TC appeals to all road users to continue to adhere to all safety instructions. Refrain from taking unnecesssary risks, and please remain compliant.
For verified traffic information follow @N3Route on X or call the 24/7 N3 Helpline on 0800 63 43 57 to report problems or request emergency assistance.
ENDS.
