Namibia's Road Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain the country's road sector, has released an update on the status/condition of roads in southern Namibia (as of 12 February 2021):

• Main Road M118 : Aus to Oranjemund road / section between Rosh-Pinah and Oranjemund
• Due to the Orange River in flood, the eastern road shoulder at kilometer 192 (25 km from Rosh-Pinah or 75 km from Oranjemund) has been affected and cracks have developed in the shoulder pavement. However, the road is open to all traffic and we have erected road signs to warn road users about the affected section. The road is narrow, kindly drive slowly, exercise extreme caution and comply with erected warning signs. We will keep monitoring the situation and give updates accordingly.
• District Road  D212 or tourist Route C13: From Noordoewer to Rosh-Pinah (Section between Aussenkehr and Rosh-Pinah)
• The Orange River has flooded and damaged some spots on this road and it is currently not safe to drive this road. The gravel section between Aussenkehr and Rosh-Pinah is thus still temporarily closed to traffic.
