A total closure, of both the south- and northbound carriageways of the N3 Toll Route, remains in place from Harrismith in the Free State to Cedara in KwaZulu- Natal.This strategic transport route to the Port of Durban will most likely remain closed for most of the day as a result of the spate of violent and uncontrollable attacks on infrastructure, heavy motor vehicles and businesses along the route.
Under these conditions, the security and safety of the N3 Toll Route, it’s operations and road users cannot be placed at further risk.
Numerous reports of protests continue to be received from communities along the majority of the N3, including Heidelberg and Pietermaritzburg.
#DelayTravel
In light of the ongoing spate of violent attacks, road users are strongly recommended to delay their trips until further notice to avoid these volatile areas.
It is as yet unclear when clean-up operations and recovery would commence, or what the current damage to infrastructure is.
#EmergencyAssistance
Please immediately report any emergencies or problems to the 24-hour N3 helpline:
