N3 reopens near Harrismith following truck obstruction

Friday, April 10, 2026

All lanes in both directions on the N3 near the Harrismith North Interchange have been reopened on Friday to traffic, after an earlier multiple-truck obstruction.

Motorists are, however, advised to expect ongoing congestion and delays in the area while the traffic backlog is cleared.

N3 Toll Concession (N3TC) Chief Operating Officer Thania Dhoogra has urged road users to approach the area with caution.

“Please remain patient and drive with extra caution until the current traffic backlog has been cleared and mobility is fully restored,” Dhoogra said.

The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has also warned that delays may persist for several hours while traffic flow returns to normal.

“We thank motorists for their patience and urge them to exercise caution, as they may still encounter congestion,” the RTMC said. -SAnews.gov.za
