The Namibian Roads Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain Namibia's road sector, has informed the public that the Rosh Pinah - Aussenkehr road (DR 212) has been temporarily closed due to wet and slippery conditions, following recent heavy rainfall in some parts of the //Karas Region. The RA is requesting the public to strictly adhere to the erected closure signs and to not attempt to use this road.

Namibia: Temporary Closure of District Road 212 (Aussenkehr <> Rosh Pinah)!

The Namibian Roads Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain Namibia's road sector, has informed the public that the DR 212 between Aussenkehr and Rosh Pinah is currently closed until further notice. Some sections of the road are flooded, which is caused by the high water levels in the Orange River due to recent heavy rains received in some parts of South Africa. The road was also closed due to flooding in November 2022. By that time, the RA was requesting all affected travelers to make use of the Keetmanshoop - Aus - Rosh Pinah road instead of DR 212 until the water levels have subsided and the road is deemed safe to motorists. We'll keep you posted!
