The N3 Toll Concession has cautioned motorists to exercise caution when travelling on the N3 from Friday, further warning that the route is prone to misty conditions, high winds, rain, and thunderstorms.
A multi-vehicle accident and pileup involving five trucks, eight minibus taxis and 22 light motor vehicles saw the closure of the N3 in Pietermaritzburg on Monday.
Provincial officials said they want to ensure safety on provincial roads, especially during this time of the year, and will be deploying a heavy security contingent in parts of the province ahead of the long weekend.
