SHORT: Rosh Pinah-Oranjemund road closed due to flood risk
The Roads Authority temporarily closed Main Road 118 (Rosh Pinah to Oranjemund) from 18:00 on 7 May 2025 due to rising Orange River levels that may overtop the road overnight. Though currently passable, the closure is a safety precaution. Emergency services may access the route under supervision.
Motorists are advised to use detours via Aus–Lüderitz (Namdeb Road) or Noordoewer in South Africa. Only LDVs and trucks are allowed on the Namdeb route. Further updates will be shared through official channels. The RA urges public caution during this period.
