Swartberg Pass undergoing repairs and maintenance

Swartberg Pass

 

  • The Swartberg Pass is a vital link between Prince Albert and Oudtshoorn 
  • Its importance has increased following the closure of Meiringspoort due to severe flood damage 
  • The Swartberg Pass also sustained storm damage and is carrying significantly more traffic 
  • Essential repairs and maintenance are therefore underway to keep the pass safe and operational 
  • Stop-and-go traffic control will be in place for the next four weeks 
  • Please allow extra travel time 
  • Help keep our road workers safe by remaining patient, courteous and following all traffic controls
