The N1 highway south of Worcester in the direction of Paarl has been reopened. Traffic controls and a stop/go system are in operation at the Rawsonville weighbridge.
Vehicles will now be permitted to travel on this section of the highway but must prepare for heavy delays, with a waiting time of at least 1.5 hours.
No hazardous materials will be permitted to travel south or queue at the stop/go. Any freight carrying hazardous material will be turned back.
Freight operators must not send hazardous material to the area.Unfortunately, the N1 north from Paarl to Worcester remains closed, with no timeframes for reopening at this stage. The Western Cape Government advised motorists not to travel to the Huguenot Tunnel until further notice.
Teams are working around the clock to clear and open roads as soon as it is safe to do so.The Western Cape Government thanks the public for their patience….
