Durban – Motorists travelling on the N3 have been cautioned about reduced visibility on the N3 route between Van Reenen and Harrismith.
The N3 Toll Concession (N3TC) said the reduced visibility and icy conditions were as a result of snow and wet weather and advised motorists to reduce their speed and increase their following distances.
“Keep headlights switched on and approach the area with caution,” said Thania Dhoogra, operations manager, N3 Toll Concession.
Motorists were also advised to brace themselves for traffic delays and congestion.
