Update on the Seven Passes Road, George
– 15 August 2024
Source Garden Route District Municipality (Road Closures)
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/3UfBJbFxBJryXGbK/The road has been severely impacted by recent inclement weather conditions.
Sections of this historical road were washed away due to heavy rainfall, also damaging drainage infrastructure which pose the risk of collapse. This left the road unsafe for traffic, and single-lane traffic was subsequently permitted. However, due to a combination of road user behaviour, safety concerns for road users, and efforts to avoid permanent road failure, the road was closed to everyone, including motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.
The Department is aware that roadworks on the N2 are causing frustration for commuters, and that they opt for using the Seven Passes road to bypass the roadworks and reconnect to the N2. Road users should note that the Seven Passes Road should not be used to bypass N2 roadworks.
The Seven Passes road closure includes access to the Silver Bridge.
Update:
