Blasting on N9 will cause temporary road closures from 18 March
Motorists travelling between Oudtshoorn and George on the N9 are advised to prepare for temporary road closures as blasting operations are part of ongoing road upgrade works. The blasting required to remove rock for construction purposes will result in full road closures lasting approximately three hours during each operation. According to the department, traffic will be halted at three control points between 14:00 and 17:00 on scheduled blasting days to ensure the safe detonation of explosives and the clearing of loose rock before the road reopens.
