Update
GEORGE NEWS - A truck overturned on the N2 near the Herold's Bay turnoff, direction Mossel Bay, earlier this morning, Thursday 27 January.
The N2 Highway is partially open as follows:
• West to East lanes (Cape Town to George) has been reopened for traffic; no need to use R404 toward the George Airport and R102 to George at this stage.
• East to West lanes (George to Cape Town); only one lane is open for traffic. Please drive cautiously.
Emergency workers are still on the scene removing the truck from the road.
The disaster management warns that the N2 will be temporarily closed later this afternoon as the mop-up exercise will get more complex.
We will issue a warning as soon as that is about to happen.
