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”.

For regular, verified route- and traffic information follow @N3Route on X or call the 24/7 N3 Helpline on 0800 63 43 57 to report problems or obtain emergency assistance.
