For those that need to know.. *N3 Toll Route I Traffic Update | MOBILITY HAS NOW BEEN RESTORED ON THE N3 TOLL ROUTE* | *Sunday, 22 September at 19:15* — Following this weekend’s severe snowfalls — which caused major traffic disruptions, and had road users stranded for almost two days between Tugela Plaza and Harrismith — *N3 Toll Concession (N3TC) is pleased to inform road users that mobility is now fully restored on the N3 Toll Route.*
The extensive backlog of traffic between KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State has been cleared.
Traffic authorities have assessed the area between Tugela Plaza and Harrismith and having given the green light for travel to resume, *but with an important warning:* Although the road is now safe enough for travel, it is highly recommended that road users *ONLY COMMENCE THEIR TRIPS from tomorrow.*
“Daytime travel is always the safer choice,” concurs Thania Dhoogra, chief operating officer of N3TC.
“We remind road users to *plan ahead and be prepared for any eventuality before you set out* on your journey. *Pay attention* to road and weather conditions, and *stay informed*. Conditions on a road can change rapidly as we have seen over the last few days”.
