THE N3 Toll Route has not experienced any snowfalls on Friday morning and the road remains open to traffic.
False reports and old photographs of heavy snowfalls in Van Reenen’s Pass which are circulating on social media have caused unnecessary concern amongst road users.
‘Our 24-hour contact centre helpline is experiencing a flurry of calls from concerned motorists following false reports being circulated, said Praveen Sunderlall, road incident manager of N3 Toll Concession (N3TC) who manages the N3 Toll Route between Heidelberg in Gauteng and Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal.

Motorists have been urged to obtain verified traffic information about the N3 Toll Route from the 24-hour N3 Route Helpline on 0800 63 4357 or the N3TC twitter page.
