Traffic on the N3 Toll Route in the vicinity of Van Reenen (N3-6X Km 60) is currently being obstructed by truckers. All lanes are CLOSED to traffic.

An extensive backlog of traffic is already being reported in the area, and as a result the Tugela Toll Plaza is now also closed in a northbound direction (towards Gauteng).

Law enforcement is on scene to monitor the situation.

Road users are advised to delay travel to the area until further notice.

For route updates, to report problems or to obtain emergency assistance along the N3 Toll Route, contact the 24/7 N3 Helpline on 0800 63 43 57 or follow @N3Route on Twitter.
