The Overberg District Municipality hereby advises the public that, following consultation with the Western Cape Government: Department of Infrastructure and representatives of the Tesselaarsdal community, Proclaimed Divisional Road DR1257 (Hartebees Access Road), from the intersection with Hemel & Aarde Road to the Solitaire/Tesselaarsdal turn-off (km 11.00), has been temporarily closed for the remainder of the winter rainfall season while construction works continue.

Recent and continuous heavy rainfall has caused sections of the newly constructed gravel wearing course to become saturated and extremely slippery under wet conditions, creating a significant safety risk for road users.

Motorists are therefore requested to make use of the alternative route via Proclaimed Divisional Road DR1252 (Dunghye Park Road), as indicated on the accompanying route map.

Road construction activities will continue during this period, and all road users travelling in the vicinity are urged to exercise caution, obey all temporary traffic signs, and adhere to the posted speed limits.

The Overberg District Municipality apologises for the inconvenience caused and thanks residents, businesses and road users for their patience, understanding and cooperation.

The road will be reopened as soon as weather conditions have improved and it is safe to do so.
