UPDATE: TRAFFIC ADVISORY
NATIONAL ROUTE 3 (N3) HAVE BEEN OPENED

Pietermaritzburg, 12 February 2022 – The National Route 3 (N3) northbound and southbound in Ashburton has been reopened for traffic after a Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) tanker overturned on Friday, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

“The N3 has been opened in both directions but it will take time to clear the backlog. Heavy duty tow trucks were used to remove the tanker which enabled us to open the road. This will help ease the traffic that had backed up to approximately 13 kilometers,” said Dumisani Nkabinde, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Manager.

Further updates will be shared during the day.
