The Roads Authority (RA) has temporarily closed the Rosh Pinah-Aussenkehr road (DR212) due to heavy rainfall received in some parts of the //Kharas Region.

The RA in a media statement on Thursday said the road is deemed unsafe for road users, “The RA is requesting the public to strictly adhere to the erected closure signs and to not attempt to use this road,” the statement said.

Road users were advised to use the alternative route (Aussenkehr-Noordoewer-Keetmanshoop-Aus-Rosh Pinah) until further notice.

The Roads Authority also urged the public to be extra cautious when driving in wet conditions on the national road network and said the public should follow the RA Namibia Facebook page for regular updates.
