The Western Cape Mobility Department has urged motorists to plan their journeys carefully and expect delays as the Huguenot Tunnel remains closed following a bus incident.
The official was treated on scene and taken to hospital for observation. The bus wreckage was removed on Saturday, but recovery and safety operations are still ongoing.
In a traffic update issued on Monday, Acting Director for Traffic Law Enforcement, Antoinette Fennie, said road users should make use of alternative routes while recovery teams continue their work.
“The Huguenot Tunnel remains closed following the earlier bus incident which happened on Friday. We’re urging all motorists to plan ahead and allow extra travel time as teams continue their work,” said Fennie.
Motorists travelling from Worcester towards Cape Town are advised to use the Wolseley, Wellington, Paarl route to rejoin the N1, while those travelling in the opposite direction, from Cape Town to Worcester, should follow the Paarl, Wolseley, Worcester route.
According to the department, the N2 remains open and can be accessed via Worcester, Villiersdorp and Grabouw, while the R101 (Du Toitskloof Pass) has been reopened with stop-and-go operations in place to help manage traffic flow.
“Bainskloof Pass is open to light motor vehicles only,” Fennie added.
“Heavy motor vehicles are strongly discouraged from using the R46 from Touws River to Ceres and via Gouda towards Cape Town as a 15-metre length restriction is now in place on Franschhoek Pass.”
Fennie also warned that the Theronskloof Pass is “prone to heavy motor vehicle breakdowns” and has no signal coverage, making it unsafe for larger vehicles.
The department has reiterated that recovery and repair operations at the Eugenia Tunnel are ongoing, and motorists should remain patient as authorities work to restore normal traffic flow.
