Western Cape: The Franschhoek Pass will remain closed until further notice [update]

update (03 July 2019): According to the Stellenbosch Municipality, a second rockfall occurred on Franschhoek Pass.

The Franschhoek Pass (also known as Lambrechts Road), located on the R45 between Franschhoek and Villiersdorp in South Africa's Western Cape, had to be closed for safety reasons after a rockfall on 22 June 2019. A geotechnical investigation is currently underway to determine the extent and nature of the damage. Only once the report on this assessment has been received will it be possible to determine the next steps. The Franschhoek Pass will remain closed until further notice.
