The government has confirmed that all highways damaged by the recent snowstorm, including the N3 Toll Route, are fully accessible to travel.
The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) said on Sunday night that important routes had been reopened in Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape.
“The extensive backlog of traffic between KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State has been cleared. Motorists are advised to resume their travels on Monday,” the GCIS statement added.
Although the roads are now cleared, road users have once again been urged to drive cautiously as some roads remain slippery, and weather conditions limit visibility.
“Government thanks all citizens, emergency services, government entities, humanitarian organisations, and stakeholders for their support during this time. Stay informed by tuning in to local radio stations and following government social media pages for updates,” the GCIS added.
