Namibia: MR118 (Rosh Pinah to Oranjemund) has been reopened!

The Namibian Roads Authority (RA), whose core business is to construct and maintain Namibia's road sector, has informed the public that the MR118 (Rosh Pinah to Oranjemund) has been reopened for public use on 08 March 2023. The water levels of the Orange River have subsided significantly to re-establish the traffic on affected sections. However, motorists are kindly reminded to exercise extreme caution and strictly adhere to the erected road traffic signs at all times.
The MR118 was closed for public use due to safety reasons, as water from the Orange River is covering the entire affected section.
