N3 Toll Route | Route Update | Easter, Freedom Day and Worker's Day Long Weekends

Unpredictable traffic patterns are to be expected on the N3 Toll Route as the first of three consecutive long weekends commences
Due to the upcoming Easter weekend being followed by the Freedom Day long weekend, and shortly thereafter the Worker’s Day long weekend, road users should prepare for busy traffic conditions and varying traffic patterns on the N3 Toll Route.
Traversing four provinces (Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga, and KwaZulu-Natal), the N3 Toll Route is an important transport and trade route that also connects to some of the major tourism destinations in South Africa.
Considering the sheer volumes of traffic, and the mix of vehicle types that utilise the N3 Toll Route daily, road users are advised to carefully plan their trips ahead of the busy traffic season starting this Thursday, 17 April 2025.
